Sports Bra Recommendation

[rayofblacklight.livejournal.com]

HEY VP,

Mods, I hope this is okay to post here. I just joined a gym and I need to find some good sports bras. I'm a ~38C so I need to have support.  I've purchased some bras at Ross and at Old Navy and they just don't fit right. I have looked at VS but their bras are like $40+ and I didn't want to just buy one and hope that it was good. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I live in Portland, Oregon and I ran into the Nike store this afternoon but didn't really have time to try on. I grabbed a medium and a large quickly but neither was quite right. I will probably go back and see what I can find. Thank you!

Oooh, some Portland bra recs for you!
First, make sure you know what size you really are. For that, go to Just Like a Woman on Macadam, or even better, The Pencil Test, on Alberta st. Both might not have your size, but they're super friendly and nice, and has a few models of sports bras for those of us who need support.

If you find that you are indeed smaller than a D, check out Title 9, downtown. Lots of sports bras, but again, you're going to have a hard time if you're looking for the wrong size. I thought I was a 32DD for ages, and nothing short of major masher bras (like Title 9's now-defunct Frog Bra) was acceptable for running and horseback riding. However, now that I'm wearing 28GGs, I've found great success in bras.
