>I'm trying to make pic related for my girlfriend.
Wholesome. Try adding bust darts (armpit to apex or "waist" to apex, but I'd suggest the first option). It's a simple solution that should remove that extra bunched up fabric from trying to shape the curved surface.

>There is very little coverage at the square knot
>Am I even able to secure the front with just a square knot?
That sounds more like a problem with the design than what you are trying to do. Perhaps adjusting the front shape to something like pic related would be more flattering for your girlfriend? If she has a bra, sports bra, bathing suit, or any type of top that you can copy for your pattern, that might make it easier on you to find something that suits her best. Also, that knot is definitely going to come undone with just a little bit of movement. God forbid your girlfriend decides to jog a few steps in it, she'll be free tiddy in the wind. I'd suggest securing the knot permanently with hand stitches like you would do for a bow and then adding a bra closure to the back section.

> I've hacked at this for over a week straight
Take a deep breath. You're doing this for a great reason and sometimes ironing out the wrinkles takes longer than you expect. Don't be so harsh on yourself. She's going to love it.


>Do I have to create bra cups? Do I need to integrate underwire?
The cups and underwire would fix support issues but not necessarily a fit issue if that makes sense? Like adding cups or a wire isn't going to make the fabric stop bunching up if that's the problem, but they will support the biddies.
