I like high quality sports bras, especially for running and cardio classes.  Normally, I buy my sports bras online.  However, now that my size has changed so much, I'm willing to pay a little bit more, to get them at a store where I can try them on.

Does anyone know where I can buy the following types of sports bras, in a store, in the metro area?
- Enell SPORTS bra (size 0 or 1?)
- Moving Comfort - Maia (size 36 or 38 C or D?)

Thanks!

Good Q!  I've never seen Enell in stores, but then again, maybe I never really looked!  I'm unfamiliar with the other brand.  I wonder if Nordstrom could help- I went for a fitting there recently- needed a strapless for vacation and had no idea what size to get. I am still really busty- saggy with loose skin, but busty.  :)  This little old lady man-handled me into the perfect fit.  Once I got over her putting me directly into the bras herself it was all good.  I'd go back.  Also, I wonder- there's an Athleta at 50th and France- they might have a decent selection and people to help.  Better than a regular sporting goods store I'd guess- tailored for women.

Good luck!  If you find Enell in town let me know... not having a decent sprorts bra is one of my lame excuses for not upping my exercise intensity...

OK- I went to the enell site and used the store locator- there are some here!  And, I didn't know there was a Title 9 store here- their catalogs have a great sports bra selection, hopefully the store will too!  Yay!

Here's the link to local stores:

I know that REI carries Moving Comfort and some other brands.  I don't know about that particular model, but you can definitely try on there.  They also have a lot of good workout clothes.

Thanks for the tip about Title 9!  I went there and was able to get both the Enell and Moving Comfort bras that I wanted :)  The prices were right around what I used to pay online.  It was helpful to have someone fit me into the right size!

Interesting that Enell changed the name of the SPORTS bra to the "Last Resort Bra", but it still does the job!
