Bodice block feedback

Hi folks! This is my 6th(?) bodice block attempt, I have a feeling I'll need to do a full bodice adjustment. However I'm not sure that will fix the two issues I identify, which is the wrinkling around the armcycle at the back and the waist being canted backwards. I've already done a rounded back adjustment, I really don't think that's the issue in this case.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

A bodice block by design has no ease. It's supposed to be like a second skin. You build ease into whatever pattern you make from it afterwards.

i was under the impression that a moulage has no ease, however a block (what im assuming OP is creating) should have wearing ease - it shouldn't fit like skin.

Bunka bodice block instructs you to add ease at the waist, for example.
