I need some advice

chocolatepotI have this light blue poly/wool suiting, a very thin, smooth fabric. My two options, given the length I bought*, are:
- Simplicity 8050
or
- Butterick B5813.
The latter I've made before:
It's really unflattering. If I use the pattern again, I'm going to do the FBA again to add more ease to the bust. But is there anything else you can see that would make this better? Should the horizontal seam hit fully under the bust, or is that where it's meant to be? (The sleeves are also hella tight, but that's okay as they're from another pattern so I won't be using them.) Should I abandon this pattern as not working with my body, and go with the first one?
* although some patterns that call for a bit more could work with less, since I can take ~2" off the bottom of most skirts even before fitting
ETA: I can't get over how bizarre the bridge of my nose looks in that picture, wtf.
