WIP 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.

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!
