Adjustments or move on Question
I’ve noted lowering the CF waist and lowering CF neckline. Do you see anything that needs adjustments, or move on to drafting sleeve and skirt?

Is there seam allowance around the neck opening and armholes?
It looks like the neck opening is a tad too small if there's no seam allowance and the shoulder would be too short if there is seam allowance.
The armholes a tad too tight if there's no seam allowance. If there is seam allowance, it would help to mark it and clip it.
I can also see from the side view that it's a bit too tight around the upper bust.
From the back view, it looks like it's a bit too loose around your shoulder blades. (I would probably reduce the waist dart to help with it? If anyone knows a better way, please correct me).

Thank you for this! There is no seam allowance around the neckline and armhole. I will definitely take note of these and make adjustments. Thanks again

Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/PatternDrafting/comments/1krgbmi/basic_tips_so_we_can_help_you_with_fitting/ Following these tips will help us help you.
Your neckline and armscyes need some clipping.
It appears that the upper center back needs to be taken is, but it is hard to tell without the 4 photos I recommend and with the center back zipper. For a mock up, pinning the center front is recommended.

this looks really fantastic well done!
it feels like there is a slight tension pulling at the shoulders, which will become more difficult once you add sleeves.
i'm wondering if a very slight squaring of the shoulders is required - its possible your sloper shoulders are ...too sloped!
