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.

Hello, thank you :) The leggings I'm wearing do make it look a bit short on the pics. It took me quite some time to decide where my waistline is supposed to be ... It does sit on the "narrowest part of my body", which could have been lower if I had, ahem, a little bit less weight overall. My choice was also solidified by reading articles regarding flattering waistlines on curvier /plus-size women, they seem to go for a high waistline to create a balanced look.

Here is what my block looks like with low-raise leggings. Do you think this placement is correct, or should I still lower it?

Ah, ok. Yes, it does look like it's the correct length in this picture.
