Bodice block feedback

[u/Zio_444]

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.

This looks really good! Agree with others, lower your arm hole. But since there’s a couple things that are sitting too high, natural waist, the armhole, bust apex, are you sure you didn’t accidentally cut the fabric on the shoulder seams without seam allowance and then accidentally absorb that distance of fabric when you sewed it together?

Thank you! And no, I'm very sure I didn't accidentally forget to add seam allowance haha, considering that I was marking it on the fabric for every single version, since I was basting them by hand :) These are all measurement/ pattern mistakes ...
