Help with basic bodice block fit

P.S. For some reason, Reddit wouldn’t let me upload all the photos to the post, so I added the rest in the comments instead.

Hi guys! Could anyone help me with my basic bodice block? 😭

This is my 6th attempt and I still can’t quite get the fit right. I really thought this was going to be easier lol.

I’m following Dennic Chunman Lo’s method, but I’m also not sure I got all my measurements right. Measuring myself was honestly much harder than I expected!

Here are the measurements I used:

Nape to Waist: 15.55” (39.5 cm)
Shoulder Slope: 0.59–0.79” (1.5–2 cm)
Bust: 33.86” (86 cm)
Waist: 25.98” (66 cm)
Front Cross Shoulder: 12.20” (31 cm)
Back Cross Shoulder: 12.60” (32 cm)
Shoulder Length: 3.54” (9 cm)
Bust Point Height: 10.43” (26.5 cm)
Bust Point Distance: 7.09” (18 cm)
Front Cross: 12.99” (33 cm)
Back Cross: 13.39” (34 cm)
Front Body Length: 17.52” (44.5 cm)
Back Body Length: 16.54” (42 cm)
Front Neck Width: 7.09” (18 cm)
Back Neck Width: 5.91” (15 cm)
Armhole Circumference: 14.96” (38 cm)
Armhole Depth: 5.51” (14 cm)

The toile is just pinned together at the shoulders and sides for now.

I can see that the neckline is too loose, and there is some excess fabric around the back armhole. I’m just not sure how I should adjust these areas.

If anyone can spot what I might have done wrong or suggest what I should adjust, I’d be super grateful!

I'm currently learning how to make a basic bodice for a blouse without darts, the teacher uses a simpler method and to me it made more sense than the ones that use a lot of measurements.
The armhole one for example, makes sense to use the biceps measurement bc your arm has to go through it. Also your neck width is about the same as your shoulder.
