so I'm wondering how i would go about finding my bra size that would look and feel best on me and how i would calculate it. Also if anyone knows where i could get a good isn cute bra for under 25$ online i would be very happy

Don't. Get a bra when you need one.

its depends, some have a B Size even a C size. you can always go to a store and pick some out and try them on in the dressing room to figure out which size you have. I wouldn't really worry though since you have so many options available to you for bras, there are so many different kinds of them, also I would check at walmart even k mart if you have one where u live, they usually sell bras under $25 I have one that I got for $8 at walmart.

Also: get a bra sized professionally, fer god's sake. You *don't* want to walk around with a bra that doesn't fit.

that's true, that's why I said to chose different sizes and try each one when u do get breasts, I honestly cant wait to get my own I will be so happy but still I have a few for myself I have a C size shapewear bodyshaper and a B size bra so I will see which one fits stupid jcpennys didn't have the B size one when I bought the shapewear oh well I still love it so its all good for me.

I was given some 36B by a friend, and also have a 34C I picked up at Meijer for $3. I really don't care about how it looks and how good it is, since all it's supporting is socks and makes my chest look like I'm not 12 years old, which doesn't correlate with my height at all.

i would like a bra for a similar reason. the intention is that because I live in canada and ccan only get the HRT and surgery performed when I'm older i would like to have a bra to put inserts into

Just go to your local Target/WalMart/Canadian Tire and check out the cheap bras. Folded socks work pretty well as inserts, but you can buy actual inserts at those stores too.

I agree with lauren, if your want bras just go buy some, don't even feel embarrassed or nervous. ive done it and I have a few myself which I wear also. its who you are no one can tell you that you cant you need to be happy in your life do what you want to do, no one can stop you.

I'm still going to stand by my earlier statement. It's my opinion that getting a bra ahead of time is kinda putting the cart before the horse. Take care of the important things. The superficial stuff will come when it's time.

It's even easier if you go to a store with self checkout. That way you don't have to feel embarrassed about a store clerk.

I believe that Riley just wants something to make herself feel pretty. If a bra does that for her, I see no need why she can't buy one or two bras to make herself feel better, even though it won't be physically necessary for breast support.

Riley...
Head down Yonge St. to the Eaton Centre. There is a Victoria Secret store there, I've been shopping there, they are very helpful. There's a Pink right next to it, that may be a better bet for you

I am going to have to totally agree here... If you are just starting down this path I would suggest seeking therapy. This is not something you want to go alone and therapy is an essential part of the journey.

Now myself, I could use one... Still working on getting rid of the Moobs... LOL

Actually,  I sort of agree with Victoria. While on the one hand, a cute bra may give you a false sense of femininity, you should really be focusing on the inner you and getting that sorted out. Honestly, the smallest cup you can buy will be too large anyway (for the time being). I don't know what kind of help you can get from CAMH http://www.camh.ca/en/hospital/care_program_and_services/hospital_services/Pages/gid_guide_to_camh.aspx but their web site says you don't have to be 18 in Ontario to get on HRT. The short strokes: wait until you need one.

There is always the internet on buying bras. That is what I had done a couple of years ago. Saves any embarrassment that you may feel when in a store. Those same bras fit better than ever! When my boobs get bigger, then back to the internet.

I think the inserts were around 50 dollars and the bra was around 70 dollars, but I don't remember the exact price
