Where in Flatbush can I take DD for a first bra fitting?

She is super self conscious, and I respect that, as she is overweight as well, which makes it even more difficult for her.

Where can I go?

TY

I don't think there's anywhere in Flatbush that's good for a shy teen. I tried several places in BP until I went to Myself, where my girls were comfortable. It's worth the trip.

I have the worst, most traumatic memories of my first time at Saposh, so I'd say, not there

Oh my. I can't believe I'm not the only one. Saposh was the worst for me and I never really got over what they made me feel like when I was 12 or 13.

I even mentioned it to my therapist at one point and I got all weepy. She said I should write them a letter, even if I don't send. I never did it but maybe I should.

Just wondering are there any stores that let you take home a few for your daughter and let her try on at home and then return ones that don't fit?

It is for me also. I went as a Kallah and was told I have a body of a twelve year old. Just what a Kallah wants to hear. I’m still traumatized twelve years later.

Why would a store make fun of a 12 year old's body if they're hoping to sell to her? Why would anyone? That's horrible.

I second myself in Boro Park. They create a positive experience for all ages especially teenagers who can be sensitive to this matter.

Op here. I also went there as an overweight teen, I would never ever take my DD there.

Where is myself, and how is this place different, and how and why would a teen feel comfortable there?

I would take her out of the neighborhood. Go to a place like Nordstrom where they will fit her properly and she wont see anyone she knows.

My very overweight daughter is 13. I buy bras for her by the bunches in target
She tries on herself
And I return whatever is no good
I get her underwire and lightly padded. She is very small on top though. If your dd needs a minimizer you can buy on onehanesplace.com
