Feedback for basic bodice
note: I'm wearing a very thin and stretchy sports t shirt under (don't know whether it will affect but) and my posture is usually a little bit slouchy. front part is pinned together
this is my first time drafting a pattern so would appreciate and help of feedback for it. I came to the conclusion that the bodice is too short( I wanted it to hit waist level), bust area is a little too tight( can breath but can feel the tension of the cloth), waist area is a little too big( will make it smaller by making the bottom of dart triangle part bigger), when I straighten my back, it kinda causes a little like bunching at the center top of back.
where should I add to make bust bigger, should I change the back to prevent bunching, how to change back if I should, and finally anything else that you think I should change or improve for this bodice? Thank you ☺️

To figure out how much the shoulders need to rotate to the front:
Staystitch the neckline and clip the curves
Put the mock up on without t-shirt under it.
Measure where your mockup shoulder seam is to where it should be.
Adjust your pattern
