does "sun suit"here=sun-protective clothing?
To adopt a couple of little children. A boy and a girl. About three or four years old so they would always feel like he was their own father. Their Dad. Our Father. The little girl like Mick (or Baby?) at that age. Round cheeks and gray eyes and flaxen hair. And the clothes he would make for her--pink crepe de Chine frocks with dainty smocking at the yoke and sleeves. Silk socks and white buckskin shoes. And a little red-velvet coat and cap and muff for winter. The boy was dark and black-haired. The little boy walked behind him and copied the things he did. In the summer the three of them would go to a cottage on the Gulf and he would dress the children in their sun suits and guide them carefully into the green, shallow waves. And then they would bloom as he grew old. Our Father. And they would come to him with questions and he would answer them.

Question

Answer

It is a type of clothing for very young children but it does NOT protect them from the sun. It leaves their arms and legs mostly exposed. Unlike the meaning of a "suit" for man or woman which involves a jacket and pants or a jacket and skirt, a "sun suit" for a young child is one piece of clothing that includes shorts or bloomers on the legs and a bib or shirt-type covering for the upper body. It is for the child to play in the sun -- e.g., at the park or at the beach. In years past, it was thought that exposing one's body to the sun was healthy. Nowadays, parents are advised to apply sunscreen lotion to children who play outdoors on a sunny day for lengthy periods -- e.g., at the park or beach.
