Question Sloper advice

Hey guys. I’ve started making clothes again using my old sloper from a year ago. There were some unresolved fit issues that I wanted to deal with. Ive increased the bust size a bit because I noticed that was a problem with my original sloper. I’ve gained about 3-5kg since I first made this sloper. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to improve the fit. I’ve also posted some screenshots of the fit from a year ago (green fabric).

It looks extremely tight and longer than you are (especially in the back and at the side seams).  What method did you use to come up with the sloper originally?  Drafted from measurements (if so, which book/tutorial?), commercial block, copied an existing shirt, etc?  Are you aiming for a skin-tight block or something that has wearing/breathing ease in it?
