When your swimsuit needs a bra under it -_-
I keep seeing all these adorable patterned/embroidered/crocheted high neck bikini and tankini tops (heck, even one-pieces) in department stores and online, and I want them soooo much, but I know there's 0 chance of them providing enough support since they've got no wire. I've been trying to contemplate whether it would look weird to wear one of my convertible bra sized bikini tops underneath, or maybe I could even find a bandeau that would be supportive enough (ha ha ha).

Ah yes, the never ending swimsuit conundrum. What kills me is when i find a totally adjustable tie back, halter tie bikini top with underwires & i could most likely fit my boobs into the L or XL cups... except for the 3” of push up padding. Why do all underwired OTR bikini tops have 3 boobs worth of padding I don’t want??
@elkie33 If you are sewing machine savvy, you could buy some of that embroidered fabric at a craft/sewing store (or even possibly Walmart) & add it to your existing bra bikini, creating a new custom supportive one. :-)
@lcl0706 Have you examined them to see if the padding could be cut out? I've done that in the past with bras, as with a bit of patience and a sharp exacto knife, it was fairly easy to do. It would require resewing the top edge from gore to strap, but it might be worth looking at the cups to see. Obviously if they appear to be glued to the actual fabric it may not work so well, but otherwise it could be doable! :-)
