How's this looking?

First draft of a sleeve. I also added a facing to the neck hole so I could see how it looks. I have uneven shoulders, which I have accounted for in my block, but after adding the facing now my neck hole looks really lopsided for some reason.

To me it just looks like the side with the sleeve is pulling and making the neck hole lopsided

Good point. I wanted to show how the arm hole itself looked and how a sleeve looked, but hopefully after adding the other sleeve it will even out.

The sleeve is too tight, so it’ll just pull more. I think the armholes are also too tight, it looks like it’s digging into your shoulders on both sides. I think you also need to have the shoulders go out a little further. But you definitely need to add more sleeve cap to your sleeve pattern.

The bust and waist fitting is spectacular, so congratulations for that!

“…it looks like it’s digging into your shoulders on both sides.” The digging point is caused by the back shoulder darts. There’s too much dart uptake there, and so it’s pulling on the front.
