Does anyone make trendy gym wear for cup sizes above G?

I'm around a 32HH. Does anyone make any sports bras that people wear as outerwear, or really trendy gym tops that would fit me, and I mean really trendy, the type that would make it look like I went to Gymshark or Lululemon? With a cross back or interesting strap designs etc?

None of Panache, Freya or Shock Absorber have anything near the sort of thing I'm looking for.

(Even a lot of "proper" sports bras stop at G, so if you're going to recommend something, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could check the size range first before recommending).

I'm a G cup & get my high impact gym bras at M&S but couldn't say if they do an HH cup sorry. Worth looking online.
I wear them as underwear but don't mind them showing.

I get nice gym tops at Next, my favourite is a Next loose fitting racer back blue & yellow camo print vest.
There are some decent tight fitting ones from various brands at Next online too but as I have a bit of a tummy I stick to looser vests.

M&S don't make any bras at all in my size.

I would really like something like in this photo.

Rugby and Peller do sports bras I think. You’ll probably need to take out a mortgage to buy one though.

They sell Prima Donna sports bras, which stop at H.

Have you looked at the boobydoo website

dementedpixie · 06/03/2020 15:43

The trouble with the styles you talk about is that they dont offer support in larger sizes

I strongly recommend that you follow @fullerfigurefullerbust on IG or Facebook. She is a plus size, busty woman who gives recommendations on gym wear, lingerie and clothing. I always find her reviews to be very honest and to the point. If something isn't good, she will tell you.
She has a website I believe if you do not have social media. Well worth a google.

That style can’t support G/H cup breasts at high impacts. Sorry.

sugarbum · 06/03/2020 15:56

I agree with antisupermums suggestion. George tests a lot of sports gear so you could probably message her to ask for suggestions.

sugarbum · 06/03/2020 15:59

(George is a 36HH)

You can't make a high impact bra with that sort of back - you need to buy a top with the pretty back like this and then match it with a sports bra - either plain to show off the top more this or patterned to contrast (btw, the Runderwear easy on sports bra is the best high impact bra I have ever had)

I tried on a thousand sports bras and honestly, at H cup, it's bravissimo or nothing in my opinion. Definitely not M and S and actually not Panache, unfortunately.

dementedpixie · 06/03/2020 16:16

I wear panache active underwired

BeyondMymymymyCorona · 06/03/2020 16:18

I'm a G, and my go-to for all bras is ASDA George!

tectonicplates · 06/03/2020 16:31

George at Asda only go up to G.

@CMOTDibbler OMG!!! This looks amazing, thank you! How have I not heard of this company?! This might just be the solution!

For anyone who's interested, look at this website, and they make sports bras that are designed to go with the strappy tops but you could really wear more or less any sports bra under here www.bosombuddiessportswear.com/shop/spaghetti-top/

I wear a style from Sweaty Betty and I’m a 32ff. It has interesting cross over straps at the back but I wouldn’t wear it for anything high impact. Spinning or pilates only for that one.

tectonicplates · 06/03/2020 16:43

Sweaty Betty don't make anything remotely near my size.

You are welcome - they are lovely ladies and incredibly helpful.

My other recent discovery, for anyone interested is a lady who makes running skirts (and you can send her your event t shirts or other sports clothing to upcycle into them). I love having a bit more coverage, and you can wear them with shorts or tights - I'm planning to wear mine with my tri suit to feel less exposed. She's Gins Running Stitch
