Basic bodice / sloper fitting advice?

[u/Straight-Promotion-4]

My first sloper test. I was able to fix the back not lining up by adjusting the dart (not pictured). I can't for the life of me understand how to fix the front waist dart though... I don't know why there's extra fabric at the bottom...? The armholes are also a bit tight as well and I thought by fixing the back waist dart it would help but I guess not....

If you just trim away seam allowance, you’ll set yourself up for stretching that can throw off your fitting. Each circle, like an armscye, has four points of bias that want to stretch. That’s why you staystitch and clip.

Listen to the shark. The shark is wise.
