I, too used to balk at those "high price" bras, and the people that wore them... UNTIL, about 12 years ago I went to my first real bra fitting at Nordstrom in downtown Chicago.  The size bra that I had been wearing was an uncomfortable, 36C (it seemed to fit well...".  By the time my fitting was completed, along with the assistance of the "fitter" -- I'd purchase FOUR new Wacoal Bras, size 34D.

Over the past 12 years, Wacoal is the only brand of bra that fits me PEFECTLY, every time.  My size is now a 32DD, Wacoal is still my preference and "my" brand (and will continue to be.)  Ladies, do not let the cost deter you!  This is QUALITY lingerie, made to last...
