    Check out the Moving Comfort high impact sports bras. I bought mine on Amazon. Totally worth it.

    Just to agree with everyone, I am currently and 34F-34ff (or 34ddd or 34dddd, depending on the sizing scheme euro or amer). I've had a hard time with sports bras (I was once wearing one while jogging and some kids yelled out a car window--"Get a bra!" So I seriously get it). I have a Freya bra that I was fitted for and bought at Nordstrom (love their selection for us larger busted ladies and most of the staff is totally cool and knowledgable--though don't go to the "active wear" section looking for sports bras, they'll only have the "get a bra!" kind, gotta go tolingerie), only thing I don't like, it feels a little "medium+ impact" (not high) and there are horizontal lines along the cups, so it looks a little weird under some clothes.

    Enell bras are great! My only complaint is that I probably should have had it fitted or custom made, as at 5'3" I have petite sloping shoulders that don't fit the same as whatever the "standard" shoulder height is (so it could support a little better if fitted), also, and this may be to do with the shoulder issue, the center tissue starts to be all cleavage-tastic toward the end of a high impact work out and feels very sweaty in the middle (I'd like a little more separation, please).

    Although, Enell will put you into contact with a certified seamstress/fit specialist if you have special fitting needs (as I probably should have done).

    All in all, I'm please with both types, I have two Enell and one Freya. Any of the common "sports bras" I've tried have gone into the trash except for these.

    Moving Comfort is a good brand to try... may not go large enough for all of you, but definately larger than most.

    Also, MrsFarrow, I noticed your request for busty button downs, I have a similar issue (same sizes almost and everything!) and recently found this site, I haven't tried it yet, but you bet I'm going to order from them soon!

    Another site for busty tops and dresses (so they fit your chest without being huge everywhere else) bravissimo.com. Their sister store (which is linked) Pepperberry is FANTASTIC. Just be sure you realize they price in British Pounds and it'll take a good 2-3 weeks for things to get to you.

    One word: Enell.

    Okay, lots more words...I heard Oprah say one time that her Enell sports bra changed her life and I rolled my eyes. But I have to say I now feel the same way. VERY supportive for larger chests, extremely comfortable, and washes well. I wanted to start running but my chest was in pain at a light jog and I was embarrassed with the movement. Now I don't even notice my chest when I run. The girls stay in place and the bra straps (shoulders and back) don't move either. I have been large chested and self-conscious of it my whole life so being able to run without worry is amazing. I ordered mine from Bare Essentials and received free shipping both ways in case it didn't fit. But I found their size chart to be accurate. Good luck and happy running.

    Have you tried a Lane Bryant store? I absolutely swear by their Cacique bras. Im a 40DDD and every bra I own from there provides superb support.
