Troubleshooting
Suit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check the size chart against the child's measurements. The material has some stretch, but a size too small will be uncomfortable.
Color fading after washing
Always wash in cold water and dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and harsh detergents, as these can degrade colors over time.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently operate the zipper. If stiffness persists, a small amount of wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.
