flattering plus size exercise tops - where can I buy decent ones?

It's like I'm not allowed to exercise Hmm . It's all either really unflattering high necked tshirts or very bright synthetic tops which cling too much to my bulges . I've got one nice gymish black cotton top I got from matalan a while ago but I don't live near one to try again - anywhere I can go online?

This looks quite flattering.

I got some great ones from Sainsburys but I can't see any online They have a tie slightly bubble hem , they are not 'skin tight' they are flattering ( they hide the bulges) and great . PLus I want to say they were about£7

I must admit I usually buy plain-coloured men's running/exercise shirts as they are usually looser and longer. Debenhams have 20% off atm

moonshine what a good idea assuming they work for the big bosomed . Won't go to debenhams after previous problems returning online orders though

dexter that does look potentially flattering, but ideally I want something a bit more gymy in that I can tell my back would get really sweaty in that as it's all enclosed IYKWIM I do sweat alot Blush

rosa I did look in my local sainsbos and didn't see anything that caught my eye, maybe it depends on what they have in season at that time Hmm

I bought mine at the end of April and I have just got it out to wear this eve the the number is 4090/122625640/ black i think as the numbers are a bit faded... If that helps .

Do you want something like a vest rather than a t-shirt?

reastie · 04/06/2012 18:48

rosa will take that code next time I'm in sainsbos to see what they can do

dexter yes I'm probably imagining more of a vest although ideally not too clingy in the tummy and not too short in length I want miracles don't I

Depends what you mean by plus size, but I have some www.next.co.uk/x49230s2tops from the sportswear bit of Next (bigger stores only) that are great. I have black and purple (which I can't see online).

I am big of boob and curvy but size 18. The top is quite long and loose fitting but drapes really nicely and is incredibly flattering. The cut-out shoulder gives some shape around the top without having to bare your full arm.
