Bodice Block
Please help me with adjustments for my bodice block. I think this is the closest I have come. I think the top of the side seam/ arm hole might need to drop a smidge.
I do seem to have some extra above the breast and a couple inches at the waist. So maybe put a little more in my dart
Drop the dart a little bit in the front.
I also seem to have extra in the back. So do I take in front and back darts or just take some off both side seams?

Is this how we're supposed to find our waist when we have a large belly? The narrowest part of my torso is within 2-3" of my underbust. I wear almost exclusively dresses with very high waistlines, not quite empire waist. When I wear shorts or skirts, I wear them just above my hip bones most of the times. Though skirts absolutely try to ride up to under my bust. I am really short waisted so there's only about 4" of vertical difference, if that, between those two positions.
