Bra?

My 11yo DD has quite pointy breasts. She would be big enough for a
proper bra but her breasts would be too pointy. She wears a crop top now but I don't think that's enough? What should I do?

You may need to bite the bullet and just get her one of the starter bras available in most major high street stores. They do all tend to be padded which increases the boob size and is ridiculous but it's better than their nipples protruding through their clothes. M & S do a nice range but I've also found some ok ones on amazon.

the teen bras are slightly padded but provide a much better silhouette, stop the pointy look and in my experience don't make them look any bigger

Agree with sausage. My 11.7 DD has, in the last couple of days, gone past pointing and started to develop definite circley bits around her breasts.
She was reluctantly (due to the heat) wearing t.shirt material short vest type things and has now decided that proper bras (28aa) are better.
They honestly don't increase the size of her chest. They came from either Marks or Debenhams and, unfortunately not available in Malaysia.

According to DD1 the padded ones are the most comfortable when your new breasts are really tender and she much preferred them for a while.

Now she's older she likes padded ones in winter and unpadded cooler ones in summer.

Oh and expensive proper strapless ones under vest tops, but she is 14.

DD2 is still at the pointy can still get away with cropped tops stage, so I'll have the nothing fits, but they hurt business to do again soon.
