Thank you for the advice here, i wish i had some to offer but for now it's
just questions. :-)

I am using various scraps of fabric i have and making swimsuit tops for the
warm weather (not necessarily to swim in).
The pattern is the simple traditional "triangle" top with ties at the neck and
back. What can i sew into the cups to make them a bit "padded"? I find
pre-molded cups at the stores but i want to find out if there's something i
can make that would cost me less.

Any ideas appreciated! Thanks.

Dear ml,

Bra cups are molded, so I don't know how successful your results would
be with making home-made ones. But, what about using an old padded
bra? The cups can be cut to shape for your triangle top.

In the old days, bra makers quilted their top fabric to a thin layer of
fiberfill and a nylon lining. You can also stitch concentric half
circles under the point to give it some, but not a lot of, uplift.

Joan coming out of the lurk mode (but I do read this group daily) to
say a big AMEN to the statement of "us with linebacker shoulders."
