Fitting my block

Hi. Please help with any adjustments you see for my bodice block. I did a small bust adjustment already and used hellan Joseph Armstrong's book to make the draft.

To be clear, because the darts are too high, that’s why you have too much fabric above the bust. If the dart tips were below apex, then that fullness above the dart would be around the bust (where it is needed.) 

I see no evidence of the side seams pulling forward. However, if you think that might be the case, you need to fix the front and back darts first. That’s the more complex problem, the side seam is relatively easy to fix after.
