[major soap boxing approaching ...] This is exactly what I was telling the Jockey Rep online this past week.
My 12 year old daughter is ready for a training bra. She is 5'2 and a 32a, she is sooooo different from her current counterparts in JR HIGH!!! AAA!!!! They are bearly 5ft tall with busts of 32c's and up wearing underwire bras! I so feel for my daughter, to be different in Jr. High is a death sentence to many girls. It breaks my heart. In the conversation with the Jockey rep she let me know that the local stores to me in the entire DFW area are NOT ordering the Jockey trainer bra. That there is a trend to order bras for teens with underwire because of 1) Obese girls at this age and 2) They are not selling anything that is not wired. If I want a bra with no underwire or stiffen support ala Victoria's Secret new wireless line I have to order it online. Either that or I can keep her in sports bras. I fear that if I do that she will lose her shape and droop long before she is 15. I am just not ready to have my non-obese daughter to be forced into a bra that is being designed for a larger ribcage and bust line and added wire support for it.

I had been shrugging it off to the general chubbiness of the population, but this summer & fall I was really trying to notice, and it really did seem that more of the slender girls were bigger than I would expect. Then last weekend I went to my first high school football game in 20 years. I didn't need to pay attention to the game, since the nephew was on the sidelines recuperating from an injury. Folks, I _know_ this crowd. These are the grandkids & the kids of the families I went to school with. (And wasn't that its own mind-blowing little trip, but I digress.) Familiar names, faces, and bodies... but with bigger breasts. Something, or somethings, is different. There was definitely more boobage than there used to be. I don't mean skin on display, I mean cubic inches. There was definitely a shortage of candidates for the teeny tiny titty committee. Very odd indeed. I don't know how much is hormones in the diet, how much is medical enhancement, & how much is wonderbras, but the landscape was hillier than I used to see. And lots of those girls were NOT wearing any bra, let alone anything that could give that much boost.
