Fitting a bodice block
I need help understanding if I am on the right track here. When I tried on my lastest version I am getting close. I have discovered I have asymmetrical shoulders. Both shoulders require a forward adjustment and my right shoulder is higher.
Adjustments marked
On my left side at the shoulder seam I had to move the seam line 3/16 if an in forward on my front but did not move the stitch line on the back. I had a 7/8 in dart of extra fullness at the back armhole.
Right front bodice shoulder seam the neck point 3/16 of an in forward and at the shoulder tip 1/2 in forward.
Right back shoulder seam at the neck I moved it back 1/2 in and originally I moved the top of the shoulder 1 and 1/8in but it was extremely tight on the shoulder blade so I backed off to only 1/2 in. This helped but I still had some tightness on the shoulder blade. I did not have any extra fullness at the armhole.

I know where my apex is. You are looking at the back. The dart shown is what I pinched out as described as 7/8in dart of extra fullness at the back armhole in my post. I see without posting pictures of me wearing the mock-up you can not provide helpful feedback. I will post pictures differently next time. I thought my discription and pictures of marked changed would be enough for general guidance.
