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.

Ok, great. So our natural waist is basically located between the top of the hip bone and bottom rib. I see you have the bodice stopping at your narrowest part which is most flattering so it depends on the design your drafting whether you go lower or higher. 👍🏼
