I'm 17, and wear a 32B. Gosh darn it, too, I'm still growing up in that quadrant, too. It was about impossible to find a normal, soft cup non underwire not pushup bra in a non psycodelic color at our JC Pennies - and I had even looked some styles up online at the website and they didn't carry it in the store. .
Your daughter is definitely not alone - my sister is 12, thin as a beanstock and straight as a board, just like I was at that age. The other thing I have a problem with is being overly perky. I fit into the top of the cup just fine, but the bottom has way to much excess fabric that folds up into a crease because there is nothing there to fill it out. I'll be working on it....
