[quote=Anonymous]From my own perspective, I would definitely get her some tank tops with shelf bras.

I grew up knowing really nothing about puberty. My breasts developed first as kind of tubular breasts. I found them embarrassing but no one gave me a bra or any undergarments. As an adult looking at myself at that age made me sad and angry. There I am with my breasts hanging out in every picture, often pretty visible under t shirts, swinging around in videos. No one else has that.

Now if I had been some kind of liberated kid who wanted to be wild and free - great. But I wasn't. I didn't really realize how I looked compared to everyone else. I didn't know from where or how people got bras and didn't even know much about them. I became very self conscious about my breasts and often kept my arms folded and wore big heavy baggy sweatshirts.

I realize your context is completely different but I do wonder if your daughter too won't look back later and wonder how you let her be like that amongst her peer group.[/quote]
