The Enell, or "last resort bra" is the be all and end all for DD and up IMO. It's 11 hooks and eyes, requires acrobatics to put on, and is momentarily painful, but is TOTALLY worth it!
I was a 36DDD and it held me flat as a pancake for jumping jacks and running. I still wear one for mountain biking and running. They're expensive, but can be found new on ebay for about half price!

I have a different problem - I'm a 42B!! Not all the big girls have....big girls! Someone tell that to the bra manufacturers. Sports bras that fit my chest leave enough "pockets" for a cell phone PLUS a ham sandwich and a paperback novel. I don't often give my DH the "you don't know how lucky you are" speech, but I did last night after a bra-shopping marathon...and coming home with ONE! bra.

hmm. that's a good point too. but, look at the bright side, if you want to avoid sweat, they left you room to stick a washcloth in there too! (gotta be a silver lining, right?) I hadn't thought of that point. That would be frustrating.
My butt's like that. HUGE butt. Little waist. Jean shopping is an experience, cause I'm also 5'10".
I think that some of the things they come up with MUST be made by men. They have to be. They design things that they'd like to see women wear, because real women surely wouldn't think that although sports bras are comfy, that when you provide no support at all... it doesn't help the problem much.
But still, where would we shop? I don't want to shop at the 'odd women's clothing store' nor would anyone else. and online shopping when you're an odd fit is a no!
i guess we're just outta luck.

I wear a 40 D or DD (depending on the bra and the time of month). I've been buying Champion sports bras for the last three years - they're made in the USA. I may have to forgo my local manufacture ethos and get something a little more supportive than a compression style sports bra. There are several available that have real cups that look like good choices. If I get something new I'll report back on how it works out!
I've built tanks and tops with shelf bras in them, and I've made corsets - but I haven't ever tackled anything with cups so I don't think I"ll be trying to make my own any time soon....

Amazing timing on this topic, as I've been replenishing the sports bra stock! I'm a fan of Moving Comfort, but happened to be looking at the Champion website this afternoon, as I was curious to know more about the one I'd seen in (breast cancer) "Survivor Pink" at the store the other day.
Champion bras usually max out at a C-cup in stores, but their website offers sizes up to 46DD. Who knew?? And, bonus, all of their bras are on sale right now for $19.99.

who'd have thunk?
Such good timing on this thread... the humor has made my day. Over the weekend I felt inspired to get some new lingerie, and was for the first time completely disappointed by Victoria's Secret. I'm a 36D/38C... roughly what I think some of their models are, or, at least, the minimum perceived chest size that VS is trying to help less-endowed women achieved with push-up & padded bras, etc. I'm not quite as well-endowed as some of you ladies, but big enough to have my chest be a factor when buying shirts of woven material.
According to the teenage salesgirl, those more trendy (sexy) new bra styles (not sports bras) don't even come in my size. Huh? They used to! Guess I've been shopping at Title9 and See Jane Run sports a lot lately. It's been awhile since I shopped for lace...
My fave sport bras:
The Moving Comfort "Cara" and "Mesh Underwire" bras, and the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra.
