Girls' Bodysuits
Girls' bodysuits are one-piece tops that cover the body and stay put, so there is no gap at the waist when she crawls, climbs or reaches up. The sizes run from newborn to 15 years, and the bodysuits sit alongside the other T-shirts and tops. In the first months a bodysuit is the layer worn next to the skin. For older girls it works as a smooth, fitted top under jeans, a skirt or a cardigan.
In the UK a baby's bodysuit is often called a vest, and both words mean the same garment. A newborn usually takes 56 cm and a 1-year-old 86 cm. Measure her height and pick the matching size. If she is between sizes, go up, because a bodysuit that is too short pulls at the shoulders and she will outgrow it fast. The care label on each piece gives the washing and drying settings.

What size bodysuit should I buy for a 6-month-old girl?
A 6-month-old usually takes 74 cm, which covers 6 to 9 months. If she is long for her age, go up one to 80 cm so the body does not pull tight at the shoulders when she stretches.
Can older girls wear a bodysuit as an everyday top?
A fitted bodysuit works well as an everyday top for older girls, because it stays tucked into jeans or a skirt all day. An 8-year-old usually takes 134 cm and a 12-year-old 158 cm.
