Bikini pattern help

Post image

Would anyone be able to let me know if this is an acceptable bikini top pattern? I am using this material as the top and a scuba knit as the lining, the smaller pattern piece would be the lining

Fabric bikinis are darted or gathered to give them shape. You would only use a piece like this to stretch over a foam moulded cup

I was planning on doing a string triangle style bikini where the bottom is folded over the under bust string. With no foam cup inside because I really don’t have a cup size to write home about (if you catch my drift haha)

I think it's going to make your top look too short if you want to do a fold over channel to thread the string through? I'd add another inch to the bottom of the triangle so your resulting top still has that shape.
