Kids grow fast. If your measurements are more than a month or two old, take fresh ones before picking a size.
Choose the larger size. It's easier to take a garment in slightly than to outgrow it after a few washes.
If chest and hips fall into different sizes, choose the larger one and adjust the other area when assembling the pattern.
Thin t-shirt and leggings are fine. Avoid bulky sweaters or thick layers — they add a few centimeters to every measurement.
Other references you might want while you're choosing your pattern.
