Think of a bra as a medical brace. It's worth the investment to get a quality one. --- A bad one will: - cause you constant pain, - cut blood circulation, - keep you from being able to run, - exacerbate back injuries, - cause skin injuries, - get colonized by bacterias and possibly fungus, - create smells, - cause allergic reactions, - etc. --- A bra isn't only a device meant to look good. You often pay $60-$90 for a one that seems well made only for it to fall apart after 3 months of wearing. Paying $350 for one that would fit perfectly and last a long time is not far fetched at all.

But bad ones aren't the competition; existing good ones (even if not as good) are. How much are those?

  Well, I'm not in the premium bra market at all so I couldn't tell. I'm still buying one every few month and enduring the metal wires stabbing me in the chest. That being said, a quick googling gives all kind of pries. https://secretsfromyoursister.com/ https://secretsfromyoursister.com/ <- $80-$200 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1976927179/anesi-bra-the-first-bra-that-adapts-to-your-breast https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1976927179/anesi-bra-th... <- 80$ but kickstarter https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Prima_Donna_Madison_Bra&categoryId=1&productId=942 https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Pr... <- 144$ https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Empreinte_Grace_Full_Support_Bra&categoryId=1&productId=6455&shop= https://foreveryourslingerie.ca/product/?cName=BRAS&pName=Em... <- 209$ In my eyes, the pricing is similar to comparing a regular hair dryer ($17) to the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer ($399). Or perhaps a cheap pair of boots ($49) that lasts one winter to an expensive pair ($250+) that lasts a few years.
