Your recommendations for patterns easy to adjust for fitting

I'd love to know which patterns people have found easy to make adjustments on.
I'll kick off with Butterick 6127 for a cocktail/day dress. It's in the Sew Direct out of print section at the moment. The bust section is in shoulder princess sections and very easy to alter for a full bust. The centre panel makes it a doddle to do final tweaks. Also, the styling has that slimming vertical line. Separate skirt sections are easy to adjust for tums and bums.
NB some people mentioned a size printing fault on the bodice but it is obvious when you look at it which is smaller and larger.

I'm no good at fitting myself, although I can spot fit issues.  I stick to styles that work with my bodyshape and require no fudging.  0_0

V2948 has center seams in front and back legs which make for easier fitting. It's OOP. I'm not sure if there's an in print equivalent, but it's easy to add these seams to a pattern without.

Great, I didn't expect there would be one for trousers! Good idea to put a line in.
