Store bought vs handmade, baby sizes

I'm wondering if anyone knows how baby clothes sizes are comparing between store bought and the major 3 pattern company sizes (Simplicity, McCalls, Butterick). Here's what's at issue:

I found two of the cutest little dresses for my expected granddaughter. One is in "12 month" size, the other in "18 month". Each was at a yard sale, but neither came with the matching bloomers (diaper covers). It would be a cinch to make a little pair of bloomers for each, but I'm not sure how the sizes compare between store bought and patterns.

If anyone can shed new light on this for me, I'd appreciate it. I haven't made baby clothes in 20+ years!
