Burda Style For people who sew

I have been asked to make a dress for a pregnant friend, and I want to pattern cut it. I cannot find much online regards the alterations that would be needed from a basic block, aside from making it one size larger to accommodate for some “growth”… Any pointers would be gratefully recieved.
