FAQs
A shelf bra is an inner panel built into the bust area of a swimsuit, typically finished with an elastic band along its lower edge. It is part of the swimsuit rather than a separate bra.
A shelf bra typically uses a continuous inner panel, while molded cups have individually shaped forms for each breast. Some swimsuits combine a shelf bra with cups, so the terms are not interchangeable.
A shelf bra does not, by itself, mean a swimsuit has underwire. Underwire is a separate construction detail that should be identified in the swimsuit’s description.
No. A shelf bra describes the inner panel construction, not whether padding is included. Swimsuit descriptions may separately specify removable cups, sewn-in cups or no padding.
Shelf bras can be incorporated into one-piece swimsuits, tankini tops and other swim tops. The term describes the interior construction rather than a particular neckline, strap design or outer silhouette.
