I just realized that the blue that I thought was the shirt was actually the skirt. Perhaps a slightly darker shadow line where the shirt meets the skirt would keep people, like me, from making that mistake. I thought, at first, that the blue was the shadow on the shirt, but it's a skirt. whew! I hope that's easier to understand than it is to say.
Also I noticed that the edge of the wall behind her is leaning sideways. I'm not sure what that is, but I think it would look better if it were straight up and down. Sometimes in photos things look that way, but if it's straight in real life, it should be straight on your painting.
