Cop2be, I don't understand your bra argument. You can't argue that it's an Australia-only issue then apply American sizing to it, you ahve to go by the Australian sizing, and that bra set, in Australian sizing would fit a 7yr old. It doesn't work as age=size here.
Also, you didn't address the fact that the bra is heavily padded. If you have boobs you don't need the padding, and why does a pre-teen need to make their breasts look bigger?
Hence why when I mentioned my size I said US 0, because in Australian sizing, I am a 6, 0 doesn't exist.
Also, should note that it's very unlikely to be a "wrong side of the hemisphere" thing, especially when most of our clothing is based off American trends, remember, you are always a season ahead of us.
I should also note, I don't have an issue with "revealing" clothing for kids, my girls wear singlets and shorts and midriff tops, as I previously stated at the beginning of the thread, I am of the belief that you can't sexualise a non-sexual child. However, I am against trashy clothing, such as clothing with distasteful slogans, or underwear being paraded as shorts, or padded bras and bikinis for kids, because to me, that's not even clothing, that's just weird.
