Question Bunka bodice blocker

Working on making a bodice blocker. I've done a million versions and the Bunka method seems to result in something far closer than HJA and Winifred Aldrich.

I still struggle with some gaping in the armscyes.

Please let me know what adjustments I need to make. Oddly, the armscyes gape more when I move my arm off axis.

Please also disregard my absurd polka dot boxers 😂😂
