She is extremely sensory. She will not wear any clothes that has a seam even by her waist (or anywhere else) Her body is starting to mature. What is on the market that would be appropriate for a sensory child. She will not even try on anything like a training bra or even a padded undershirt. (I am having a hard time researching online due to my filter...)

She will eventually have to wear a bra so an undershirt with bra attached is the first step.
If she will not wear it she will look it. I'm not sure they're a solution without proper undergarments.

You need the cami with a shelf bra as a first step. My sensory kid would only wear the Hanes ones which are looser than most companies.

This is the only company my sensory asd daughter could handle. I started with this cami and later moved to the bras when she needed.

My sensory daughter couldn't handle the thin straps. I found training bras with thicker straps.

Is this a new thing for this generation? Anyone above age 25 remember refusing to wear a bra because of sensory issues? If so, what did you do?

I went too long with nothing. When I got older I remember seeing preteens walking around with nothing looking terrible. I think now parents are more aware that kids need to look presentable and socially normal. And having growing breasts show through clothing awkwardly is just not going to work.

Ok, I will try these. I do not want this to become a battle. This should not be something she looks back at with bad associations.

My mother who's over 50 can't wear pantyhose, was always fussy about her clothing, doesn't wear her shaitel if she doesn't have to. Then she was shocked when my baby brother became particular about his socks lol.

My 10 year old isn't sensory, but we just started her with padded undershirts. She hated the thin adjustable straps. She said the plastic adjustable piece was hurting her.

We bought her these on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7.....ss_tl
It took a little time to get used to the padding and loose elastic around her ribs, but she's OK with them now.

My teenage daughter wears her sports bras inside out. The seams bother her wearing it the regular way.
She refuses to wear a more supportive bra, because they are uncomfortable. Bh she can still get away with the light sports bra.

I wish! I couldn't find. She saves the white ones for her white or lighter colored shirts. But when she's wearing a darker color shirt, color underneath doesn't matter as much.
