Please tell me you aren't pattern matching the sleeves too.. cuz it kinda looks that way :D

It fits fine from the back so it might be that the upper front part of the sleevehead/hump/whatever you want to call the curvy part is too large towards the front. Yank it in a bit and it might work.

I agree with Isabella. Looks good from the back. Just a slight wonkiness at the upper front. I think you just need to futz with it a little and it'll suddenly lay perfect. You just need to give these stupid sleeves the silent treatment for the night and they will behave in the morning.

Sleevil. We all love them.
The puckering in the front might either be solved in opening the seams again, pin very carefully and resew (shoulder and the sleevil seam)
or: press give it a go with the iron, maybe it helps.
Worst comes to worst and time (or nerves run out): Wear a Fichu on top of it, everyone will think it's wrinkled by wear and open the buggers again after the event.

it looks to me like the upper arm of the sleeve doesn't fit your upper arm. You can futz the sleeve all you want, but the pattern needs to be altered. Slash a cross in the upper arm of the pattern and open up the middle a bit to give you a bit more room in the bicep. Then, true up the lines where you see little pointy bits.
Yeah, it means cutting new sleeves. Sorry.
