Bra Fitting for the Pre-Teen and the growing Teen
So dad just about had a melt down when his baby girl showed up in a bikini this summer after being hidden away under bunny hugs all winter. Yep, it has happened and our Pre-teens have sprouted boobies. This is all mom's department now.
Well moms, if you have yourself been into the store, you know our great staff will help your daughters get measured and fit for a proper bra. Let us do all the work explaining and fitting. You just get to be there for moral support. For some young ladies, this is really uncomfortable but we try to be educational yet keep it fun.
We have an awesome new group coming in that is designed for the 10 to 12 year olds they are for the petite small breast just getting into a first bra. Young ladies who are just developing have much higher sitting breasts as they have not filled out completely. The breast point to shoulder is much shorter so straps must have less length. Width of the front needs to be narrower and strap position needs to be centered unlike a more mature fit where straps are further out. Breasts are very firm in the first stages of growth, can be tender and sensitive. Very simple comfy bras are a must.
Now the 12-14 years can be big growth spurts in young ladies where one breast grows faster then the other and stretch marks occur as the breasts appear over night for some girls. This is all normal. We all have one breast and side of our body that is bigger. 12 - 14 year olds can be coming for their first bras or been wearing one for several years but are in the wrong size. Wearing and learning how to wear a bra is so important at this stage in development. Most girls this age tend to follow the media and do not understand proper breast health unless mom, grandma or aunties have shared good bra fitting knowledge.
The 14 - 16 years can be crazy where in one year a girl can grow 4 sizes in the cup. This was my daughter Morgana who works at the Market Mall store and really can be there for the young ladies that are overwhelmed by this growth spurt. As a mom it was like every couple months we were changing sizes. Yes this is hard on the budget, but we always have something on sale that might work. We also have demi lift styles that are very accommodating as the girls grow out of control. We will try to work with your budgets through this time, I understand.
Girls breasts keep growing up to 25 years old, sorry to share that news, but it is so important to know this, less surprises as the girls just keep on growing.
For Back to School, we suggest 1 dark, 1 light and one good sports bra as a good start to your bra wardrobe.
Don't forget to bring in mom's old worn out bras to get 10% off your new ones!
Have a boobalicious day. Angela.
