Simplicity 3775, How do I love thee?
I know that there is concern out there about the clinginess/figure flattering abilities of a knit dress. One worries that every lump or bump will be visible, and that knit dresses are only for those with perfect figures. Well, I have for you today conclusive evidence that this is not the case!
Here is my bump, at 17 weeks (yesterday!). We're coming along... I made the dress nearly a year ago. You can see all the details here.
But standing up straight and without my hand under the belly, and where is that bump?? I would also add that this dress was easy to make and forgiving to fit, as knits tend to be. It is also as comfortable as my PJs.

Congratulations! You look adorable in this dress, and it does hide 17 weeks quite well. Great fabric and dress.
You look amazing! Contgrats!
You look fabulous. Pregnancy agrees with you! The dress is totally cute!
Awww...how sweet! Gotta love those baby bumps! I agree with you on knit dresses! That's about as close as you can get to the perfect garment. Comfy and stylish!
Very funny! Yes, it is hiding your "bump" very well! I love knit dresses, and wear them all the time...regardless of my lumpiness ;)
Too funny! You look great!
Such a pretty dress and it's great that it works so well now that you have a bump! You look lovely in it.
Amen, sister! I was just thinking that a knit dress would be a nice mind break. Your baby looks cute in the dress too. :)
It does hide the belly, but hooray for a picture of the baby belly!!
Congratulations :) and you look amazing in this dress.
LOL - great demo. Thanks. You look fabulous.
I forgot how much I love that dress!! Wonderful material:)
That came out great, and you do not look 17 weeks. I look that way at 7 weeks :)
oh, you are so cute! And the dress too. :)
Nice work, you look radiant!
Cute dress and congrats on the pregnancy.
You're adorable. That is all :)
Yay!!!!! Congratulations. I'm 21 weeks today. My maternity wardwrobe consists almost exclusively of knit dresses for precisely this reason; no constriction and they "grow" with you. Congrats again. So exciting!
You look lovely in this dress! You've got that great expecting mother's glow!
Too cute! That's amazing... I have this pattern... I need to go make it! :)
You look beautiful. Great dress!

It is a great pattern! I love knit dresses--fitting is a very approximate kind of thing with knits.
You look great! The dress is really cute with your 17 week belly! My last pregnancy was twins -- 17 weeks was a little more than that! Well, I didn't gain a huge amount, but it was so solid and hard to move around because there were TWO in there!
looks like a great dress. I myself was practically a mountain at that stage... no dress coud hide it...:-)
This is why I love knit dresses so much - they grow and shrink with you. Nice to see that this is still the case even with a baby bump. :)
