What is a shelf bra?

A shelf bra is a bra built into a top. It is often a soft elastic band under the bust, with a layer of fabric above it. Some have cups and some do not.

The shelf bra in the Kischt Aurelle has padded, molded cups. The cups add shape and cover.

How the Kischt shelf bra tank top works

  1. Molded cups, sewn in

    The pads are sewn in place. They stay put in the wash and never need re-inserting.

  2. A soft elastic band

    The cups sit on a soft elastic band. It gives light, gentle support with no wire.

  3. Nothing to fasten

    There are no hooks or clasps. You just pull it on and go.

  4. A smooth lining

    A smooth lining covers the shelf bra. So no bra lines show through the top.
