Browsing another forum someone had linked to this

It's new to me. I'm unlikely to try it as I have an Enell which is unbeatable for avoiding bounce, but if anyone over a B cup wants to make a sports bra, this pattern looks as though it could be a good one.

Link isn't working Jen.  Not that I'm a sports bra person....  but they are comfy, and secure.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

I bought this!! I have yet to try it but I am tired of spending a fortune on sports bras for my awkward size, so will give it a go sometime... (brave pants needed)

Sorry, don't know what happened there. It linked for me when I posted, then it doesn't.

You can probably get a pattern for those too  :P  :D

Am I the only one who thinks life is too short to make your own bras and knickers?

No!  They're the only things that reliably and consistently fit me from M&S, so my attention is better placed on other things.

We also have a shiny new Marks here, so I don't even have to buy them online any more.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I might be tempted to make sportsbras if I did enough sports to need a lot. The Enell are fantastic but pricey, also very sturdy, mine hasn't worn out yet.
