| DD10 is just starting to develop; her nipples are barely sticking out (no breast buds), and she wants some kind of bra to cover them. Any recommendations for what she can wear? I don’t think she’s ready for an actual training bra..? |
| Maidenform girls bras. My DD liked the sports bra style. Available at Target, Macy's, etc. |
| Hannah Andersen has half camis that work well for this purpose |
| There are half camisoles everywhere. No need for a tight bra. I check the thickness of the top . If it’s thin I put out a camo. If it’s thick cotton there isn’t any need because nothing shows. |

Sports bras for tween.
My DD is 13 now and still likes sports bras. |
|
My daughter who is 10 likes both Yellowberry and Bleuet. They’re just over the head types. We have some Hanna Andersson ones but they are very thick - she finds them comfy but too hot for summer.
I think even if they don’t need a bra, and we think god bras suck, don’t rush into one, if it makes them feel secure/comfy, go for it. |
| Second the sports bra suggestion. |
|
My dd really likes the ones from Yellowberry.

| I can’t find the exact bra my 13 year old started with, but it was very similar to the Haines Bonded comfort bra, based on pictures. |
| Target has "Bramis" which are just a cropped camisole. But you could also do a regular undershirt/camisole like we wore in the 80s. |

Thank you for this term! My tween has a bit more development than OP’s and wants to wear off the shoulder tops, but thin bra straps showing are not vibe we’re going for with our elementary aged kid. A brami looks like it would work perfectly! |
