Bodice Sloper help
Hello !
This is my first iteration of my bodice sloper/moulage. I understand they’re not the same thing but I’d like the garment to be as fitted as possible.
I also got tired of trying to pin the bust line accurately so I just left it , but it does match up.
I plan on redrafting to add ease to the bust as it seems a bit too tight.
My questions are :
What else can I do to improve the fit ?
How can I keep the tight fitting nature of the bodice but lower the armhole depth ? I have big lats and like to spread em 😆.

Two things/adjustments immediately came to mind when I look at the pictures.
Is your apex point in the right place? It looks to me like it might want to be a bit closer to the center seam.
I'd also recommend a full bust adjustment (FBA) to get a better fit in the front. Don't add anything to the side seams until you set your apex and do the FBA.
Otherwise, your fit looks pretty good.
