for padding, I've taken an old worn out bra or just one I dont use anymore and cut it up leaving just the cup, trimmed is accordingly to my swimsuit top and sewn it into the bikini top. works great for light padding!

@brooke3000us cut an old bathing suit and use the padding from that one

[brooke3000us]

Love the idea but might not be very supportive for all us uh um bigger chested ladies! :D I wonder if maybe I just layer it a few more times if that would make it thicker and more supportive? or maybe thicker straps too!?
