Almost 14 year old only wants bralettes / sports bras. . I can’t find what she’d like.
Regular straps (not racer back)
Thin and not a lot of material.
I should also add I would appreciate not pricey.
. ]Everything I’ve found is racer back. She has found some she likes but I find them pricey. Also, I’m in Canada so hard to order on line for most stores. Need something I can find in store. For example American Eagle has nice ones but on line only,

Have you looked at Aerie? Target? I know both dds have bralets from both places (I can’t speak to racerback or not though).

And we don’t have target here. I’ve ordered so many that she hasn’t approved and I have to return. I’m looking for ones she can try on here. |

Then she changed sizes and they no longer fit right and we had to start again. It took a trip a few hours away to a bigger mall with a larger selection of stores. I can’t say the day ended without tears........ |

I can’t say the day ended without tears........ Yes - I get it! I just looked on the Joe Fresh website (it’s in one of our big grocery store chains) and they have so many but I’ll go into store and they’ll be sold out of the smallest size or on line only. And if I order they might not fit her or be the right fabric or what she wants. I really miss shopping in store. |

Did you try Walmart ? I just looked online and they have lots of cute little bralettes. Usually in pckgs of 2 or 3. Very good prices.

Even if you can't find the perfect one in store can you maybe at least narrow it down by trying on every bra in the mall one day? 'I like that one, but it's too big' 'this one the fabric is good but I don't like the lace' 'I like the straps on this one but not the clasp' You get the idea. Take lots of notes of sizes/fabric contents/colors/straps/etc/etc then go home and hit the internet (hopefully at stores with good return policies) with all that data and lots of crossed fingers.

Amazon has Prime Wardrobe in Canada. You can order however many styles/sizes you/she wants, keep and pay for what she likes, send what she doesn’t want back for free.
You won’t be charged for anything until after your 7-day period is over/you decide what you want. That way she can also order multiple sizes of bras and see which fits best without a big cash outlay by you.

I really like these bras by Jockey. They are lightweight and comfortable, have regular straps, and hold up well in the wash. I can wear them with or without the removable cups. I’m a 36AA and wear a small in these. |

I am in Canada as well... but it sounds like you are not close to a major Center.
Your DD May be too old but when mine was younger we had success at Justice.... she know LOVES Aerie (it is part of American eagle)
Our Costco carries Calvin Klein soft sports bras...check the actual sorts stores as well... haven’t tried them but I bet Old Navey would have something and they are great for returns. The away should also have something.
Good luck never a fun task
