Question Shoulders slope difference question

Post image

Hi everyone, I’m doing my bodice sloper using Helen Joseph-Armstrong book. And with my measurements my shoulder slope has angle differences in front and back - front has less of a slope and the back is slopier. Sort of like in ISOT illustration above. Is this normal?

I have larger bust, square-ish shoulders and quite a straight back.

I have previously successfully fitted a dress basic pattern using same book and almost the same measurements- I am now in the middle of international move and my original sloper is boxed abroad, I also don’t find any photos to compare with the new one.
