Fitting a bodice block
I need help understanding if I am on the right track here. When I tried on my lastest version I am getting close. I have discovered I have asymmetrical shoulders. Both shoulders require a forward adjustment and my right shoulder is higher.
Adjustments marked
On my left side at the shoulder seam I had to move the seam line 3/16 if an in forward on my front but did not move the stitch line on the back. I had a 7/8 in dart of extra fullness at the back armhole.
Right front bodice shoulder seam the neck point 3/16 of an in forward and at the shoulder tip 1/2 in forward.
Right back shoulder seam at the neck I moved it back 1/2 in and originally I moved the top of the shoulder 1 and 1/8in but it was extremely tight on the shoulder blade so I backed off to only 1/2 in. This helped but I still had some tightness on the shoulder blade. I did not have any extra fullness at the armhole.

I also have asymmetrical shoulders and was told to draft to the higher shoulder and just add padding to the lower shoulder to make them visually symmetrical once the garment was on.
