I've got this one Here
Washes well and covers hips.

BariatricObama · 16/02/2010 16:56

that one does look good. i do 'worry' about nike, like i am going to find a small finger in the stitching

Adidas are better quality than Nike. I have a couple of running tops from Lidl that seem to be getting bigger, not smaller, too.

Lizzylou · 16/02/2010 17:00

I know, but it is flattering and covers a lot of my arse without me looking like a bag lady, so hang the morals.

That's bad, isn't it?

ForestFire · 16/02/2010 17:00

I go to Sports Direct - name brand stuff for cheap but it is a truly hideous shopping experience and makes you despair for the human race. Or work out your size in brands and eBay instead. DH made me go to one of those terrifying tiny running stores where everyone has about 2% body fat but while he was trying on jackets I found a Stella McCartney running top reduced to £5.99 and it is still the best top I have.

ForestFire · 16/02/2010 17:13

sports direct
i know i should brave it

Miggsie · 16/02/2010 18:19

Sweaty Betty do good stuff. Mine have lasted.

SweetEm · 16/02/2010 18:47

Adidas don't shrink - at least the clima365 don't.

sungirltan · 16/02/2010 18:52

im all about tkmaxx gym kit - if you don't want them to shrink don't get cotton or jersey - get that dri - fit type stuff

lovemynano · 17/02/2010 18:41

Try wiggle.co.uk - "proper" brands like Ronhill are good.
