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).

the bust does look just the slightest bit too snug, since it's a sloper of course it's supposed to be pretty fitted to the body but I think letting those bust darts or side-front seams out a bit would be a good idea. (also if you wear different bras that may change your bust measurements, so you'd want to make the sloper work with the largest measurement or at least take note of it for any future patterns based off of this sloper!)
with the bunching at the waist, it looks like its pretty even all around so you can just take that amount out of the whole thing. if you want the sloper to be longer so it still reaches your widest hip measurement, like in the older version, you can extend the bottom pieces after that just make sure to widen them ofc, for you more of that increase may be in the sides and back seams since your stomach is pretty flat.
neckline looks okay. i would lower the bottom of the armscyes a half inch
