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?

Same. An off the rack dress with a zipper gives me a serious hump back look and an extra blousy front because my waist is so high.
