What size should I buy for a 5 1/2 year old girl that sized 6T in the U.S. when buying an Indian outfit?

Question

My fiance and I are having a mixed wedding that follows his family's Indian cultural traditions. Fortunately, my non-Indian family wants to wear Indian attire for the event. My mom and sister will be wearing sarees with custom blouses, so I don't need size help with that, but I will be buying my niece's outfit ready made and don't know how to deal with sizes. We will likely buy the outfit in India, but it is also possible we buy it in the UK or on the Internet. She will be 5 1/2 and probably around a 6T at the time of the wedding in 6 mos. (She is a Size 5 US now, I think.)

Also, my nephew will be a 1 year old by the wedding. He's hefty now. Any size suggestions there too?

THANKS!!!
