What dress size do you think a fourteen year old girl should be?

Question

My niece is 14 and 175cm tall. Her chest size is a minimum of 38D and she is still growing. But sometimes i think she may be too large. What size should she be?

Thanks.

The first answer thats contains a link to a chart showing what size girls should be at their height/weight/age/chest size, is 90% likely to get best answer.

I want to know if she is overweight, not if her bust is too big.

**but keep in mind, a teen's body is mostly genetic (or a series of bad choices). If her boobs are 38D, then that's genes! Her boobs will likely get bigger before they get smaller and if you're a good aunt, you won't make her feel bad for things that she cannot control.

She needs to eat healthy and exercise for 30 minutes a day and that's all she can do, the rest is already pre-set in her genetic makeup.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem a few years ago, girls are getting bustier than the previous generation and a D is average size, it could just be that she hit puberty young and has already developed. I was an E at 14 while not overweight, plus dress size is probably not the best measurement, it would be her BMI as some people can be a size 12 in trousers but an 18 in dressed due to their bust.

Answer 3

This is not a question that can be easily answered. It depends on many things. First of all, she seems to be a normal height for a girl of her age, although her breasts are larger than most. For someone her height, age, and breast size, I would say anywhere from 100-150 would be an average weight. This all depends on muscle, genetics, and race/religion (some groups eat specific foods). If she is somewhere around 110-120 I would say she is average weight. 100 is a little low and 150 is a little high, so I hope this helps!

Answer 4

I'm 14, a 34AA, 168cm tall and a dress size 8. BUT everyone is different! My friends range from size 6 to 14!

Answer 5

She is not making a fool of you, she is making a fool of herself. Although I would never act that way it seems she is going thru a mid life crisis and is trying to be young again. She has not figured out yet that no matter what you do, you cannot go back. I kind of feel sorry for her acting so desperate. I know this is real hard for you but take a good look at her. She is human and scared and that is why she is acting like this. She feels her mortality. Instead of getting mad or embarrassed her try to understand why she is doing this. Because really there isn't anything you can do about this except hope she grows out of it.

Answer 6

She does sound overweight. Going by a chart isn't such a great idea anyway. Right now is where her typical proportion is being set for the rest of her life, after around this part of her life it will be far more difficult to change her weight and even more difficult to maintain it.

I would suggest the EXCELLENT book: "Eat right 4 your type". It takes body chemistry and heredity into account, outlines the foods which your own blood type handles the best to maintain fitness and help steer you away from foods that might make you feel bad or lazy.

I think everyone should study the book and try to use it as a guidline to steer your daily dietary choices in the right direction.

I've seen this work wonders for women who need or want to easily maintain their weight and energy levels.

It works, I knew a woman who was able to control her weight down to half a kg! She found just the right weight to balance her figure and her boob size :-)

Answer 7

Sorry don't have a link to a chart. But judging by the clothes for that age group in the shops it would be in the 8 to 10 size. But obviously everyone is different and as she has a large chest then her body size with be in relation with that. I think unless she is obviously overweight then she is what she is regardless of a chart.

Try this. It does sound like your niece is a big girl. I don't know how tall 175 cm is. We work in feet and inches here, but the bra size is incredible for a 14 year old. You can't prevent her from growing vertically, but there might be a concern about her weight which can be helped. Weight Watchers has a program for children, very healthy! Good luck.

Answer 9

I can do a little better than a chart. Here is a calculator to help you determine a healthy age/weight/height for children from ages 2 through 20. It is located here:

http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/weight_height.html

As the daughter of a health professional, and someone who is adept in physiology, health and fitness I can say that it sounds like she is overweight, considering her breast size. Breast size is often increased in girls who are overweight. Substantial weight loss, assisted by a physical training program of some kind, will help to balance out her BMI (reducing the amount of fat in her body) and toning her upper body. Toning of the upper body will usually reduce breast size, even in those with a lot of fatty tissue present.

Answer 10

There is really no average size!

Though, age 14 and a D cup is a bit big. Does she have back pain due to those big breasts? (BTW, D is big for ANY age).

If SHE is happy with her size, then that is all you need to worry about.

Edit: You want to know if she is overweight, but I do not see you posting her weight. So we don't know.
