I would try some other items/brands/styles. Not all 2T is super slim. Sometimes it helps me to bring a pair of clothes that fit snugly in my purse when I shop, then I can hold them up and compare to the new items I'm looking at.

If you find that you're still having an issue, you could either do trimmer diaper inserts, or get 3T and roll up the legs.

My nephews who are chunkier have to go with a specific brand. For example, he can only wear Gap jeans size 2 husky. You are so lucky you sew so well, or I should say he is lucky his mom sews so well.

I didn't notice it being too much of an issue, I avoided buying the skinny version of any pants. We have a lot of hand-me-downs though and I think pants were definitely wider a few years ago. If I am buying new pants I look for the interior adjustable waistband, that helps to get a better fit.

Have you tried Gymboree? I have several pairs of non stretchy pants from them that fit well over cloth diapers. I also found that the HM brand fits pretty well too, and most have adjustable waists. We have to use a double insert even during the day, because lO is such a heavy wetter, and those brands work well for us (LO is in 18-24m/2T at 18mos old).

@scg00387: I never buy regular pants! Jeggings, leggings and sweats!

Try looking for maxaloons pants already made on etsy. They're supposed to last a long time with long legs accommodating growth
