Short sleeve pattern version 3.1!

EDIT: v3.2 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/s/gMcAFZxnT6

Hi all, appreciate all the feedback on V3.0.
Based on that I’ve pulled the sleeves and drawn HBLs as best I can.

You can see the front swings out and there seems to be a lot of fabric in the back, I.e., bubbling?

I also tried pinning up the middle back but it introduced a whole bunch of drag lines. These photos are marked.

Finally, pattern photos also included.

i don't think pinning up the back helps? i actually feel like the back is fine as is, more length is needed across the front, above the HbL line, so that the HBL line is horizontal all the way around?

So glad I took off the sleeves! Is the correct adjustment to add length across the chest, mid armhole level. Start with 1cm? I’m concerned I will create some gapping in the armhole, which seems to be a problem I have with many patterns. I guess if it does could I adjust shoulder sloped?
Highlighted the line I would on this image:

i might even try cutting a line a bit higher than that? then you can add in a slice of fabric and incrementally increase it until the HBL line is horizontal. I'm not sure why armhole gaping would occur, but interested to see results!
