Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })For some reason, mermaids feel compelled to fashion bras for themselves out of seashells, even though they never bother making any other kind of clothing. Although this provides Fanservice and titillation, it was originally created for the reverse reason. Logically (as in, using the same logic that would apply to humans *cough*), a mermaid would be an Innocent Fanservice Girl, but we can't have that in a kids' movie, can we? Since, by definition, a mermaid is a fish from the waist down, only her top half must be covered, and often Godiva Hair just won't do. Thus the seashell bra was invented to preserve the modesty of female merfolk everywhere. You probably think this originated with Disney's The Little Mermaid, but Disney was using it all the way back in 1953 to depict the mermaids in Peter Pan (although they looked distinctly less bra-like in those days). Expect bras to also be made out of other marine trappings, such as starfish (though glomping a living creature to one's own body doesn't sound like a good idea in hindsight — especially if it ejects its stomach and starts digesting your nipples) or perhaps seaweed or other vague underwater flora, though the shells are often depicted as somehow clinging magically without any accompanying harnesses or straps, seaweed or otherwise. Also, the bra will almost always be made from scallop shells rather than clam, oyster, conch, or nautilus shells◊ (not unless they are hollowed out). Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Of course, not every culture shares the notion that the sight of female nipples somehow corrupts children, hence the Japanese animated version of the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale features bare-chested mermaids. It's also possible to avert the whole issue entirely by having scales growing around the chest area, or to extend the "fish" part of the mermaid up to the bustline like a strapless dress. Provides additional proof (if any were necessary) that most writers are either male or sufficiently unimaginative to be unable to envision just how uncomfortable such attire would be. Or both. A Sub-Trope of Improvised Clothes. Compare Fur Bikini, Bare Your Midriff. |

Parodied in the Shantae series via a series of in-character Twitter posts. Shantae takes a bath in a pond, but finds her clothes missing when she comes back for them. Not wanting to run around naked, she tries using whatever she can reach from the water to cover herself, including the wildlife. While most mermaids in the series are topless (don't worry, nothing is shown), the Giga Mermaid from the fourth game has her chest covered with a pair of shells which are bigger than Shantae herself. |

Subverted during both episodes of The Backyardigans that have mermaids, "Viking Voyage" and "Into the Deep". During those episodes, Tasha and Uniqua are mermaids (well, Uniqua just in the latter), but their tails cover the entire torso◊, so they don't need seashell bras. | |

The Little Mermaid of course, though Ariel is unusual in that her top has a strap. Ursula has octopus flesh go over her chest instead, though. Some people think the overweight mermaid illusion seen in Ursula's song has her chest covered by scales, but looking closely reveals she too wears a Seashell Bra. | |

Not a mermaid, but in I was a Teenage T. rex, one of the leads becomes a Leptoceratops, and despite not having anything to cover she didn't feel comfortable going naked. She tries sticking leaves on with sap — they fall off. The Quetzalcoatlus character takes pity on her and makes a top-and-bottom out of seashells with holes poked in them and strung together by vines; these last a little longer. | |

One Piece: Sanji has some Imagine Spots of gorgeous sirens wearing Seashell Bras, but it's averted when they meet Kayme, an actual mermaid who wears a T-shirt. Gonk mermaid Kokoro, on the other hand, does wear a Seashell Bra. One person asked if they really were seashells — Oda's initial response: "Does 'I don't want to think about it' count as an answer?" Also, a few of the younger mermaids, especially the dancers, do. It's just not normal mermaid clothing. |

In Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic and its sequel, Kingdom of Magic, magician Yamraiha wears this in keeping with her water motif. The seashells turn out to be magoi storage devices that gave her a boost when shattered, but it still doesn't explain the reason for choosing that type of bra in the first place... | |

Faerie Tale Theatre's adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" used an interesting scheme: if a mermaid was out of the water (like sitting on the beach for instance), she had Godiva Hair, whereas while she was underwater (and thus her hair would be floating around and unable to do its Godiva Hair function), she had a Seashell Bra, or more specifically, two scallop shells stuck to her chest with no straps whatever, not even one connecting the two shells. | |

Somewhat related example from Love Hina: Having found an oasis after getting lost in the middle of the desert, Naru makes improvised bikinis for herself and Nyamo (and then later, Shinobu, whose clothes had been destroyed by one of Motoko's sword techniques) out of giant leaves. Not explained is why Kitsune put Motoko in the exact same type of outfit when they were still in civilization. This also allows a "trap" that unleashes caterpillars to be somewhat threatening, in a way. | |

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch takes Color-Coded for Your Convenience to the extreme, so of course, mermaids always have seashell bras that match their tails. They do, however, wear other kinds of clothing at times, such as skirts, but these are purely ceremonial, and usually a mermaid is depicted in only the shell bra. | |

Misty from Pokémon wears a pink one whenever she plays the Magical Mermaid◊. In her case it's probably just a costume that looks like seashells and probably not too uncomfortable. At least not as uncomfortable as performing an underwater play bare-breasted. | |
