Shorts/bloomers seem small?

Hi Everyone!


I'm new to the forum and Oliver + S patterns. Love, love, love. Just bought a bundle of them and started with the Puppet Show shorts. My daughter in 8.5 months old so I made the 6-12 month size - the measurements seemed pretty spot on for her and she sits right on the 50th percentile for weight, length etc. So I was really surprised when the shorts ended up way too tight for her to wear (really hard to slide up over her hips). She wears disposable nappies/diapers so no extra bulk to speak of there. I was also making them at night after she went to bed, so didn't get to try them on for size early in the making process.


I guess my question may actually be a general type one. Do Oliver + S pattern sizes run a little small? Anyone else have this experience?


Thanks in advance for your help!
