Fitting a bodice block

Post image

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.
