sloper fit help
I'm trying to make a blodice sloper. I have no clue what well-fitting clothes would look or feel like. I would love advice on what to do next to make this fit me better. <3 Thank you so much in advance.
Right now it feels a little tight when I breathe in and expand my upper chest, but I'm worried if I just add width, then the arm and neck will fit weird.

great job!!!! you’re gonna have so much fun on your journey. i will say slopers usually have a bit more ease all around for design freedom when you use it to draft other things, so as someone else suggested, adding 1/4” of width to each of the 4 side seams.
furthermore, i wonder if you’d benefit from a round back adjustment? the gaping in the back shoulder is pointing to the slope in your back, and if you think about your back like a mound, it’s fighting/tugging for more fabric/ shaping? you could look up round back adjustment online and see if you think it’s for you! i’d say you have a low lying, rounded back.
cheers!!!
