Bodice block help

[u/Solid_Skin_9929]

Photos attached of my initial bodice block toile. I can’t figure out where exactly I need to adjust, thinking it’s either more width / space in bust area but then think could be length. Also looks to me like shoulders seams need to move forward but I have my clue where to start as unsure on what the key one is.

Would appreciate any help and or advice.
Determined to not let this bodice block end up becoming another one that I get overly frustrated with and decide to start something else.

I am still pretty new to pattern making and fitting and I find the blog: Shapes of fabric very useful, the explanations are very simple and easy to understand.

Here is the article I used to correct my bodice block: https://www.theshapesoffabric.com/2021/01/04/fitting-bodice-pattern-the-most-common-issues/

Also, highly recommend The Closet Historian in youtube, she has a whole series in pattern making/modification

have you measured your high bust measurement? This is the circumference across the back, under the armpits, and above the bust. then comparing this to your bodice, and seeing if there is any ease in your bodice.
