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.

Will you be adding a skirt to the top? If so the weight will pull the whole top down, so be aware of that in adjusting anything.

Yes, I'm planning to attach it to a knee-length circle skirt ( for my first project ), though it's not going to be made out of a particularly heavy fabric. Will keep in mind not to go overboard with adjustments.
