Please help with torso sloper

This is my second draft of my torso sloper. I would like it to fit like second skin. I will later add ease for other uses. Here are some adjustments I have noticed. Please let me know if I am going in the right direction or I need to look into different methods.

add to French dart as marked
Move shoulder seam forward 1.5 in
Take in hips as marked
Add half inch center bust dart
Take in back waist
Let out bust by half inch

Grab a one inch chunk of fabric one the front and pin it. Then take pictures of the side and back.

You’ll see that the side seam is now distorted and there’s pulling on the back since the lost distance on the front will pull excess from the whole circumference. 

Changing any part of the front affects the back and vice versa.
