Non-wired options for daughter
My 14yo is currently wearing 32DD in Wacoal, Cleo and Felina bras. Since she is young, her breasts are relatively self supporting, but she has quite a bit of projection and is still in the somewhat pointy phase of development (I assume she still has another cup or two (or more) of growth left to do. Relatively tall and wide roots. At the upper range of DD cup, nearly E...
I think more full coverage bras fit her better...or maybe that's also a posture issue...since she slouches alot.
Anyway, up until recently she was wearing a 30C/D because she didn't say anything about bras not fitting....then summer rolled around and I noticed when she wasn't wearing thick winter shirts 😂
Wacoal Basic Beauty t-shirt bra fits well, as does a Felina moulded (non-padded) full coverage bra in 32DD. She also has a non-wired wacoal Future Foundation contour bra...
Issue is, the non-wired bras often have crushing of the foam cup near the bottom, or rolling/scrunching/folding of the band in the front within just a few weeks.
Anyway....she didn't initially want seams this time around but is fine with non-padded moulded cups, or lightly padded. She agreed to try some seamed wire free options when I explained that seams help support breast tissue. I don't prefer non-wired so I'm somewhat lost on what is good for larger cup sizes.
To be clear, she wears wires too but wanted about 2 wired and 2 non-wired bras.
Thanks!

You can see my three Molke reviews on my page. Lots of fuller bust brands nowadays have some wireless options, but I can't say how well they work in your daughter's size range. Also: have you tried bralettes? I feel like a 32DD would probably be a size covered in even SML sizes.
Braletts that offer enough coverage for her breast tissue are too big in the band and the ride up.
If the band is tight enough, she had breast tissue out the sides of the bralett near armpits.
She is closer to E than DD. Some DD have wires on breast tissue.
