I picked up my last Bali at Target! I think it was about $16. Full coverage underwire with no embellishments; now that is hard to find!

I used to get a particular Calvin Klein but of course they discontinued it Woman Mad

I wear Chantelle bras and regularly hit the Nordstrom sales!  I refuse to pay full price for them but they still are not cheap!

I usually purchase bra's in July too, at Nordy's sale and same brand - you're right still $$$, but I like the gals there that always fit me.

I've always thought that the Wacoal brand, while very pretty, is overpriced. I buy very nice brands, like Maidenform and Warner's, on sale at Macy's or Kohl's for $30 or less.

Re: Bra shopping sticker SHOCK.

I've noticed a lot of inflation in the price of bras too, the full MSRP price in Canada for brands like Warners, Maidenform, Bali, and Olga is between $42 and $52 for a full coverage molded cup underwire bra. 

 

I look through the sales racks and it's slim pickings for a nice 38D bra. And don't get me started about TJX as they hardly bring in nice bras in that size at Winners in Canada any more.

That stinks.  I bought the Bali comfort flex-fit and mine were perfect.

I try to buy mine at Kohl's when I have 30 percent off and they're on sale.

Re: Bra shopping sticker SHOCK.

I once bragged about getting a deal on some Bali bras.  At some point, I realized they were so uncomfortable.  I lost my great deal because I finally got rid of them.  I had success with 2 styles of Breezies, and I got several so I'm good for awhile.  Just luck, really.  And, I agree the price of nicer bras seem to go up every year.
