Sizing

Children grow at such different rates! 

Determine your child’s size by measuring
•    back length (from the top of the shoulder to just below the waist)
•    chest circumference (measure around the chest with arms raised)

Our sizes are consistent with Australian sizing standards.  Don't be tempted to buy a size too big so you get 2 season's wear.  Buy the correct size and have it fitting snugly the following year instead.  When rashies are too big for a child, they create drag through the water making it more difficult for the child to swim.  It also puts unnecessary drag on the garment each time it is worn.

 Care

Our sun shirts are made of the highest quality lycra fabric.  To keep them looking gorgeous, always rinse them in cool water and air dry after swimming.

Babes in the Shade sun shirts and swimwear should never be ironed, tumble-dried or dry-cleaned. 

Occasionally they may be machine washed at 30 degrees centigrade with a soft detergent and on the gentlest cycle.  It is not recommended to wash rashies in top loading washing machines as these can stretch the shirt.
