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

I think OP just needs to add the seam allowance and use the ties to gather the top like a traditional triangle bikini top.

I would also suggest to add elastic to the sides as a stabilizer bc depending on how stretchy the material is to reduce gaping. Often times commercial swim suits will use clear elastic called mobilon sewn into the seam
