You've come a long way with this piece. The softness in the arms, hands and elsewhere made a big difference. I would encourage you to look at the strong value changes between the lights and darks on the dress, though. The high contrast, especially in the stripes/folds across her middle take too much of the overall form away. You might want to think about simplifying and massing the values in the fabric in that area, and in the bodice area.
