Even cheaper here if you don't mind the pale pink colour...

and need it in XL.

Oh Trillian you are so lucky..see, the flimsy fabric of those built-in bras does absolutely nothing for anybody over a D. Same as not wearing anything at all. Ouch. We need serious scaffolding, something that looks like anti-missile body armor to keep everything in place - go check out Shock Absorber bras for DD+, you'll see what I'm talking about.

I think I have the same material in a long sleeve running top - and yes it is lovely and soft.

I'm confused how JL and JD Sports size the top as SML and Sports Direct do 10, 12, 14 etc.

Not sure where to order from! Am a 16 - so XL would prob do nicely.

Oh yes love this top. I have one, got mine from a cheap sports top so probably last season - paler blue with white tick. I find the material soft and its nice and long in the body so wear it ruche round my middle.
I'm a busty 14 and got a large - it is lose fit on me which I like.

But check out the other colours they have. I didn't buy online but tried on in the shop.
I wouldn't be without my shock absorber bra for running and Zumba - really comfy and no bounce at all (34F). The four hooks in the larger sizes makes it easy to get on and off, I can't be doing with the ones you have to pull over your head! I got a pale blue one in John Lewis sale (to go with above vest) and a pink one from Bravissimo but you can find these in lots of places, look out for the % off offers.

HeavyHeidi · 22/09/2011 15:45

I know how to link. I just can't search for the shock absorber bra online to link, as all those sites are blocked by our IT department.
