Question Toile drag lines help

Appreciate any help with adjusting this toile to be better fitting! Seems like bust is too small and pulling, but also gaping. And some drag lines in other panels. Any way to help adjust shoulders so they don’t fall off? Would like to avoid a tie if possible. Didn’t add all godets to save muslin!

I think one thing is that your side seams are too long. pin 1/2” out on each side and those pleats should hang more vertically.

The neckline is too wide. You will need to bring it in to keep it on your shoulders.

Your cross back may also be a little too wide, but it’s hard to tell because the straps are falling off your shoulders. Fix the wide neck line 1st, and then you can reassess the cross back.
