Long undies fit like a second skin, so bulk shouldn't be a problem. There are lots of different types about, but if you think she might grow out of them before she gets full use, you might like to think of something less expensive than silk. I got a couple of sets from Aldi here in the UK for £7.99 a set. I wear them as PJ's coz I get cold at night!
