Has anybody else run into a sizing issue with children's clothing?? I know that I have to buy a larger size pattern than what i wear in store-bought clothes, but I just made DS a pair of pants and....WHOA

Those commercial patterns are designed for baby elephants. Always have been. You will need either to do some major pattern alteration (I remember making my DD some things in size 6 width and size 10 length) or buy some children's size pattern drafting software. Length is easier to adjust than width.
