Welcome to the Shelf Bra section of the Bra Glossary.  In this section, you can learn more about bras.

Shelf Bra : The cups of a shelf bra fall slightly under the wearers nipples, rather than covering them completely.  The shelf bras are like abbreviated demi bras.  This type of bra provides less support.  The shelf bra is worn for sex appeal not for comfort or support.

If you would like to research bras further, you may want to check the bra definition section.
