Have to buy online - can you recommend a UV swimsuit?

I need a UV swimsuit and hat with a flap at the back for my 13 month old dd. I have to buy online so I can't have a look at it before I buy, unfortunately.

Comfort and decent sizing are the most important considerations, but it would be a bonus if it looked really cute too. They're certainly not cheap, so I would really appreciate a recommentaiton before I buy. I've seen JoJoMaman's online - does anyone have theirs? Any recommendations? TIA!

M&S have some lovely ones. Other than that you could try mothercare online.

I've got a couple from sposh, they are expensive, but are polycotton - so softer and less plastic-feeling than the majority I've seen elsewhere. There are a few online stores that sell them. The all in ones come up small so if you get one, be generous in the size you choose (might last a bit longer too).

I just bought a suit and hat (with flap) from Lion in the Sun. I think it's very cute!

I bought a coulple online from John Lewis - they do a lovely toweling beach dress as well.

I have bought from Here. Not cheap, but very good quality.

I've always bought Lion in the Sun too and they are great. Mine have always had the all in one suits but sometimes I think the shorts and tops might have been easier? Either way they last really well and DD2 is wearing DD1's old ones easily.

I really like lion in the sun too. I got the baggy board shorts as I was not so keen on the tight shorts. I bought for 2+ kids though. They were expensive but one outfit lasted my older son for 3 summers and now his little brother is wearing it.

Thanks to all for your recommendations! I had a look and I really liked the Lion in the Sun and Sposh stuff, but I found this The sunsuit and hat are polycotton too and the prices are really good - in fact it looks like they're a rip off of the Lion in the Sun one. I ordered the sunsuit and hat. Fingers crossed they're nice!
