Gym wear for larger lady

Options
I need to get some new gym gear and quite fancy some 3/4 leggings but I want a top that covers my more than ample backside ! I prefer a t shirt with short sleeves and the neck not too high .
Can anyone point me in the direction of something suitable ?
Cheers

    I have some 3/4 leggings but I prefer the full length ones, I think they make my legs look slimmer.

    How about Sports Direct, they often have offers on.

    It depends on what you mean by larger? I like Nike gym wear, you can get some good prices if you have an outlet store. I think they go up to a 20?

    Also, if you want something that will enhance your shape look at compression pants (trousers) - tight but will make the jiggliest of bums look great.

    how about 3/4 leggings that have a skirt over them as part of the design

    I have some 3/4 yoga pants and loose t-shirts from Curvissa, the Kangaroos brand. http://www.curvissa.co.uk/curvissa/_/N-1z141mr

    You could try:
    George @ Asda
    Tesco
    Matalan
    Sports Direct

    I've also had some 3/4 leggings from Primark.

    I wear vests like kerri so haven't noticed short-sleeve T-shirts but all the vests I have cover my bum.

    Be weary with some - I bought some from Sports Direct, looked nice, see through when on, didn't look that bad looking at them in the shop! I paid the same price for them as my old pair from Sainsburys which are amazing (couple of years ago), but don't really want the world seeing my underwear!

    As for tops - I currently have a Berghaus tech tee I found in a size 18 myself as I can't stand sleeveless tops - moisture management as well which is nice :)

    La Redoute (but a caution on the sizes - they buy from all over the world and sizes come up very differently! I rarely get it right first time, but their returns are efficient)

    I find the USA Pro brand that Sports Direct sell are decent quality and not at all see through. I do go for the very bright, vibrant colours though.
    In my local small SD shop, they don't have a great range so I buy online.
