* In the ''Literature/LostVoices'' trilogy, mermaids normally go naked, since there are no mermen. When Luce starts meeting the human boy Dorian, she starts wearing makeshift bras of seaweed or kelp so she won't feel self-conscious in front of him.
* In ''Literature/NotQuiteAMermaid'', illustrations show some mermaids wearing seashell bras and others wearing human-style bikini tops.
Deleted line(s) 115 (click to see context) :
* In ''Literature/TheSyrenaLegacy'', female Syrena wear a seaweed wrap.

Of course, [[ValuesDissonance not every culture]] shares the notion that the sight of [[NippleAndDimed female nipples]] somehow corrupts children, hence the [[Anime/TheLittleMermaid 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 [[OrganicBra scales growing around the chest area]], extend the "fish" part of the mermaid up to the bustline like a strapless dress, or simply [[BarbieDollAnatomy not draw any nipples at all]]. Mermen, instead, will just be completely shirtless, since BareMidriffsAreFeminine.

BareMidriffsAreFeminine. Aside from preserving modesty, the seashell bra also serves another purpose: Animators didn't have to care about the underwater Jiggle Physics, since seashells are hard and rigid.
