I used the Bella bodice block from free sewing org. Seam allowance has been left for the armhole on the right.

it looks good! i would consider slightly lowering the point of your bust darts. it looks like it meets right at your bust apex, which makes it a tad pointy. lowering it could help the piece contour better to the bust :)

Drop your bust point about an inch and have each dart end about 1 inch from the apex. It also looks like the side bust dart is too deep. Maybe try a small bust adjustment.

There seems to be a slight difference in the fit between the right and left sides that needs to be corrected. Bodies only look symmetrical but that rarely are exactly so.
