If I want to sell it later, I take out the new lining and padding, and the old lining is still fresh and ready to go.

*note: we've used Shira's method before too, but you may want to "fill" the space between the existing bra and the new cups with some kind of stuffing, unless the cups are really hard. Otherwise there's a chance of having them looking dented if bumped.

I did think about filling in the space, but the bra is super-hard. I don't know if I can get a needle through the cups.
By "tack in" do you mean sew (or "baste" - just learned that one :))? Sorry for my need for clarification - I'm just not down with costuming lingo
