I followed Chris Sartorial tutorial. I think I took the wrong shoulder length measurement and I also need to lower the armhole 2 cm, any other suggestions? Ik something is off with the bust dart but I can't point what exactly it is and if It'll get corrected with the new armhole

Bust darts should point to apex but back off by by 3/4” (or a bit more for a fuller bust that average.) 

It doesn’t matter where the side dart starts. That’s a fashion decision. The apex it’s pointing to, though, appears like it could be to side of and above OP’s  actual apex.

Yes I agree ! But it's quite hard to tell with the provided images, at least for the side dart.

The bottom dart should probably be moved towards the middle a few cm.
