I developed very early and was wearing a "regular" bra by 4th grade (10years old-ish). I remember being very self-conscious about the concept of getting "nip-ons" at school (especially when it was only one side...ahh the wonder of boobs!), so I can see the potential lure of a bathing suit top with a thicker layer, but NOT specific bust-enhancing qualities (where they have the padding focused to just the bottom portion). Perhaps the designers at A&F need our help...they're probably not thinking straight if their cubicles smell anywhere as potent as their stores!
Here's a link to another recent observation about bras geared towards young children:
