Some places use the T = toddler = diaper = more room in the butt but I don't think they all do - only the places that separate 4T/5T from 4/5. I know that Gap and Old Navy only have the T sizes and not a comparable number size. And I was talking with a friend and it definitely seems like boys' clothes, even in toddler sizes, run significantly bigger/wider than girls' clothes, which is kind of sick when we're talking about toddlers and preschoolers.
I know that it is as hard to shop for super skinny kids as it is for bigger kids, but one would think the clothing manufacturers would be on top of that. If they can make different "cuts" for older kids, they can make a couple for the littles, too. They would make money. Otherwise someone would have to size up forever and chop of a million inches on the legs.
Also, diapers are so trim and thin these days that there isn't all that much difference between a diaper and underwear sometimes. When Punk was wearing cloth diapers, it was REALLY hard to find jeans, even baby/toddler jeans.
