i want to make a swimsuit..?

my grandmother knows how to sew very well but she has never made a swimsuit. she said she will try for me. so i looked online and i want her to make this vintage swimsuit.

Boning was used then because knit swimsuits were not common -- that one is made of a woven fabric.
Make yours out of modern swimsuit fabrics and avoid the necessity of boning and zippers (and boy, did they hurt when they caught your skin!).

I learned to sew swimming suits from the KwikSew book Swim and Action Wear, which I highly recommend: http://www.kwiksew.com/catalog/Book_Swim.cfm?Cat=Book_Swim

Best suit patterns I know of come from KwikSew and Jalie: http://www.kwiksew.com/catalog/cat_thumbs.cfm?Cat=Misses&Level=Swimwear&QL=MissSwimActiveWear http://www.jalie.com/sports-apparel/swimming.html?SID=f8914d5f963d539b1085324a14dcc454

I would not recommend making a suit of non-stretch material for a beginning project, even if your grandma has sewn for many years. It has to be very closely fitted, and some of the interior fabrics used aren't available any more. Neither are the patterns.
