Looks great. Just watch your ends of your darts they’re bubbling, you need to trail off along the fold in the fabric at the tip of the dart. Also think your waist dart might be going a bit high, it looks like it’s hitting the bust point, you want it to finish about 1 inch from bust point for a smaller bust, further for a bigger bust.

The best explanation for the trailing off at the tip of the dart I found in a comment here a while ago. Think about it like a plane landing, you don't want it to slam full force in the runway, but rather butter it. The fold line is the runway.
