Sewing your own suit

[dickprint]

I am interested in making or having someone make some suits for me. I could use some help from those of you who have knowledge about this.

I am trying to find the best material to use. I know that a lot of suits are made with 80% nylon or poly and 20% lycra/spandex. I have a pair of shorts that are incredibly comfortable that are 75% nylon, 25% lycra. Soft, stretchy and as a bonus, show a good vpl. I think this would make a great suit (either brief or square cut), given that the stretch would allow for a decent outline of my package. I mean, that's one of the perks of wearing swim briefs, right?

What weight material should be used? I don't have a clue in this area as I have never done anything like this.

Any input would be great. If you know of where to get some good patterns that would be awesome. Thanks!
