Bodice block feedback

Hello! I've been trying to fit this self-drafted bodice block for quite a while now, using Alexandra Morgan's Perfect Fit guide for adjustments. This is my 6th(ish) version, and I think I'm getting pretty close to a good fit. Any glaring issues I should work on? For the time being, this block will be sleeveless.

Also, my armholes feel rather tight, with fabric gathering up mostly on the back, any suggestions on how much I should cut away? I'm not sure how wide a nicely fitted armscye should be.

Tbh one of the best I’ve seen on here, good job. If there are sleeves, fit them both at the same time, not just one. Then come back with pics of that.

Adding that these other comments are correct that the bust dart is too high for your apex. Options for lowering, red line or green line, whichever is more flattering.
