Hello! I’m hoping someone can help me fix a lumpy or mishappen bra (left only) of a vintage swimsuit (with slightly pointed forms). Otherwise it seems to be in great shape and was my grandma’s.

Very cute swimsuit, I have one in my collection of a similar style but with white contrast buttons, which is 1960s in date.

Mine had foam bust cups that had deteriorated over time (devil dust, ugh) and so I had to cut them out but it doesn't affect the style. You can always replace the bust cups with new ones from a haberdasher. They won't have the same shape but they will get it close to original.
