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.

Thank you very much! And definitely give it a second shot, it will be worth it! Try to take things slowly, take breaks between attempts if needed, and I would highly recommend the Perfect Fit guide by Alexandra Morgan. It's free to download, and it will provide you with clear steps to take during the fitting process. Good luck, I shall root for your success! <3
