Active children want clothing that is comfortable. They have no tolerance for clothing that is too long or short, that rides up or is too tight. Sun Emporium UV garments are meant to be worn snug fitting rather than very tight where the fabric is stretched across the body.

All garments are cut to ensure comfort fit for active bodies. It is a matter of personal preference how you wear your UV Clothing - comfortably fitted or generously baggy. The surf suits for girls as well as the unisex suits and stinger suits are meant to be fitted to the body and not baggy.

Remember - body measurements are the measurements taken from your body - not from garments. Garment measurements will vary according to the styling, fabric and desired ease of fit. The key to comfortable fit is knowing you body measurements.

Helpful hints for calculating body measurements

* Take measurements while standing in underclothes.
* The tape measure should be firm but not too tight.
* Measure height without shoes.
* Keep the tape straight across your back when  takingchest/bust measurements.
* The tape should be kept up under the arms and around the shoulder blades.
* Put arms down when measuring chest/bust.
* Measure around the natural waistline. To locate an often hard-to-find waistline in children tie a string or elastic around the child's waist. Then ask the child to bend and stretch - the string will then automatically roll into place at the natural waistline!
* If your measurement is in between then go up a size.
* If in doubt then allow an extra size for children as they will grow throughout the season.
