Choosing the right size for underwear or swimsuits:

these items must fit very close to the body (especially for bottoms, briefs or boxers as these are small pieces for which stature matters less than build and the child's age....) it is recommended not to choose a size above the child's actual age. For example, as long as a child has not reached 7 years, make the small swimsuit and underwear pieces in size 6 years. When in doubt, it is better to choose the smaller size rather than the larger one.

Suggested fabrics:

Fabric: lycra (swimsuit fabric) matte or shiny
Swimsuit lining (Claudia foam)
The swimsuit was designed to be fully lined for added comfort. It is possible to line the swimsuit with the same fabric as the outer fabric, or you can also use swimsuit lining (or Claudia foam) which is less expensive.
