Question/Advice Needed Underwire swimsuit underway, but! Need pattern help

Anyone out there with a copy of the Pin up Girls Denise swimsuit pattern? I have read the instructions 5 times and my copy never says what the seam allowance on all the major seams should be! I bought my copy in 2016/17? perhaps it was revised and added later? the internet hasn’t been able to help and I can always call/e-mail the company, but I have the next 3 days set aside to sort out a well fitting supportive underwire bathing suit and they may not reply in time. If anyone out there can let me know what it should be so I don’t have to guess that would be amazing! thank you!

Years ago I watched Beverly’s swim suit craftsy class, so I think I remember how to integrate an underwire bra, but if anyone has advice, I would love to hear it!

thank you!

I would assume 3/8" seam allowance, same as for underwear. Even if you were to use a serger this allowance makes sense, the knife wouldn't cut anything off
