Shelf Bras & Open Cup Bras
A shelf bra supports entirely from below. The cup stops under the bust, so the band and underwire do all the work, which is why fit matters more here than in almost any other style.
We stock shelf bras from Axami, Escante, Coquette and Fantasy Lingerie. For support, Axami is the one to know: made in Poland, underwired, and sized like a real bra rather than a costume, in bands 32 to 42 with cups up to a G in select styles. We carry more Axami shelf bras than any other US retailer.
Escante, Coquette and Fantasy Lingerie styles are lighter and less expensive. They give less support than Axami and suit a special occasion or a first try of the style.
Looking for the full size breakdown by band? See Axami shelf bras in real bra sizes. For a shallower cut that still covers the nipple, see balconette bras.
Axami ships from our Florida warehouse, with no customs fees.
