For the girls - plus size workout wear in Australia

I'm trying to find some plus size workout wear that's available in Australia and not through a US online store; and I don't mean "they go to size 18". I'm talking some good sweat wicking tops and non see-through leggings.

I've done the department store scrounge, but I've either come up with trackies (target), and see-through leggings (BigW) or almost seethrough cotton.

Does anyone have any ideas?

    To tell you the truth I don't think it's exists, I've never seen it stocked anywhere
    Totally unfair :/

    Totally unfair is how I'm starting to see it as well. I'm very tall & I'm pear shaped, so if I order something online there's a high chance it wont fit and I really don't want to deal with US retailers if I have to arrange a return.

    I have thought of buying from them, but nearly everything is either out of stock, or with shipping is $100+ for a pair of workout pants.

    I'm thinking I might have to buck up and buy from them if I can't find anything else, but I also need to justify to my husband spending $100 on a pair of gym pants. It was hard enough explaining the $250 for a pair of Brooks runners...

    I found some loose 3/4 at big w and tights at Kmart. I bought tights on special at female for life, they are good. But I wear the big w pants over the top of tights. Not much around for plus size.

    I sweat so much when I work out, that I need tights unfortunately - looser pants just end up wet and sticky... just blegh. If other people in the gym see my jiggly fat, then they can deal with it. I have to hear them grunting, they can see me wobble.

    I might take a trip to a Sportspower store (although the closest one to me is about 40 mins drive away) and see what they have. Thanks!
