There are 2 cute free patterns for diaper covers under: Ruby Bloomers dana-made-it.com Measure with diapers on to see how much width you want to take out from sides, but these are made poufy to allow for toddler movement. If she's trained (congrats!) you can copy a pair of RTW.

I find kids underwear - like all their other clothes is either too big or too small and only fits perfectly for like a week. ------ Melanie

Could you simply curve from the edge of the thigh up to the waist as you cut out the fabric? I'm by no means an expert. I'm still working on getting two of my own underwear patterns to fit just right.
