What I did was went to the store LOL with a tape measure and measured every size in the baby section to get the right sizes...as well buy at the thrift stores baby clothes in various sizes to pattern up against :O) that works too...

Dress sizes from shoulder to knee

Newborn--->14.5

0-3 months----> 15 inches

3-6 months----> 16-17 inches

6-9 months-----> 17 inches

9-12 months----> 18.0 inches

18 months----> 20 inches

24 month--->22 inches

I also use these website as she has various sizing charts  https://pattern-paradise.com/2013/10/05/crochet-patterns-baby-measurements-sizes/

Here's another chart, unfortunately it doesn't give waist-to-knee measurements.  Back waist length is neckline to waist.  Note there are 2 numbers, top number is inches.

I'm not sure about adding 2" around the chest, that's the difference between 6 and 24 months on the above chart. 

Most of adult height is waist down (legs), babies are all torso and head (because brain and organs are proportionately  a bit bigger than adults) so most of the height is waist up...so legs start out short, but grow faster, so it might be hard to catch the above/below knee point.  If you are really worried about making it long enough, the measurements that Jayashiangel gave you are uniformly 2" longer than your pattern, so why not just add extra rows for 2"?  If it's a bit long, she'll soon grow into it!

I made some preemie dresses for a baby that was 4-5 lbs ( Measurements 5.5 inches wide and 8 inches long ) When I was able to see pictures of the dress on the baby they were short..... The mother had put pants on the baby...so more like a top it barley covered the diaper....but she loved the dresses :O) so win win but next time I will make longer...http://danettesangels.tripod.com/patterns/pattern_bubble_suit.html

Angel wing dresses I make 14.5 inches long so to make sure covers diaper

A newborn onesie measures 13 inches from shoulder to crotch ....

A newborn full size long  onesie from top to crotch is 13 inches where the feet would reach the bottom feet area 17 inches.... 

Baby bibs I have done for both preemies (I did these for triplets) using a G hook and for newborn to 6 months using an H hook have gone over very well as quick gifts.....http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-round-bib.html
