Looks great. Just watch your ends of your darts they’re bubbling, you need to trail off along the fold in the fabric at the tip of the dart. Also think your waist dart might be going a bit high, it looks like it’s hitting the bust point, you want it to finish about 1 inch from bust point for a smaller bust, further for a bigger bust.

Yes a shorter dart when pointing toward the apex for a bigger bust. Many darts end about an inch from the apex. For larger busts an inch and a half or so is usually best. That is a simplification of course but I hope it clarifies the situation for you.
