I read other reviews before purchasing this swimsuit for my 8 year old daughter. She is 49 inches tall, weighs 60 pounds and normally wears a size 8 in casual wear. Based on comments from other reviewers that she is small, I bought a size 12-14. With the adjustable straps set to the lowest setting, it fits her perfectly. and it will definitely have room to grow. It's made from a nice soft spandex material, but it doesn't feel sticky like spandex (just soft and pliable). I just bought it and haven't washed it yet, so can't comment on its durability or if it will shrink in the wash (but I doubt it shrinks much at all given the material it's made of). Great swimsuit and I'm sure I'll be buying more in the future. Just be aware how small the sizes are. While I think my daughter will wear this for a few years, I don't think she will fit anymore when she is a true dress size 12-14.
