Bra is short for brassiere. Plural of which is brassieres. Although plural of bra is just bras.

It's plural for knickers, or panties, or pantaloons because they originally came as a pair of two halves - one to fit each leg, with a gap between so that ladies could pee without having to remove acres of Victorian underskirts....

I think it maybe as stated above, another americanism creeping in, but its certainly far from wide spread, even in a few of them areas you mentioned ive never heard it, america can keep it lol.
