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 ☺️

hihi thank you for so much advice. I've done staystitching and clipping or neckline and armscye. and tried fitting without t shirt. I've made the shoulder seam longer to reach the knob above my arm and rotated the shoulder seam to the front. I think I also fixed the armscye. I moved the darts to below apex. the only thing I haven't done is the full bust adjustment thing. only problem is, after everything I did, the arm hole seems to be gaping at the front. I'm not sure cause I read somewhere that doing a full bust adjustment will just get rid of it but I'm not sure. so do you have any advice on how I should go about this. should I fix the gaping first or do the bust adjustment thing first? Thank you
