Fabrics vary by item. Examples shown include 100% nylon; nylon/spandex blends (e.g., 77% nylon/23% spandex; 84% nylon/16% spandex; 85% nylon/15% spandex); polyester and polyester/spandex blends (e.g., 89% polyester/11% spandex); and a cotton–modal–spandex blend (48% cotton/48% modal/4% spandex).
They include padded and unpadded (soft‑cup) options, underwire and built‑in underwire for lift and centering, lightly lined and contour/contoured padded cups, two‑ply cups for shaping, and designs marketed as minimizer or full‑coverage.
Many bras use adjustable back closures such as multi‑column hook‑and‑eye fastenings. Others—especially camisoles and some bralettes—are pull‑on (pullover) styles with no hooks.
Neckline types include V‑neck, demi and plunge styles. Coverage ranges from full‑coverage and lightly lined cups to modest plunge/low‑cut options; some pieces use contour or two‑ply cups to create a smooth, natural shape.
Constructions vary: some tops use mesh liners or two‑layer/two‑ply fabrics to reduce sheerness, some bralettes are unpadded, others feature contour or lightly padded cups, and some rely on underwire or built‑in shaping rather than heavy padding.
Design elements include sewn‑in boning at side seams, two‑ply stretch microfiber side panels, specially shaped side panels for smoothing and spillage control, underwire and centering cups for lift, and built‑in shapewear or bustier‑style structure in some tops.
