Work in progress. She looks a bit stiff. Anything I can adjust?

OP sent the following message as a description of their artwork:

I did this painting by using ideas from several pictures and combining them to make this one. As a result, I've been winging the proportions and angles. I still have to work in some details but I'm wondering if the basic shapes look proportionate or if anything looks off.

If you have any other ideas on how to improve, I'd love to hear those too!

The fabric of the dress is off to a really good start! As far as proportions go, the hands look a little bit too small - as a good rule of thumb, the distance from wrist to fingertips should be about the same as the height of the face. The angle of the legs/hips is kind of ambiguous, but that might be more values than form.

I think the stiffness is coming from the pose : both of her feet are anchored in the ground, her shoulders are aligned, and her back is straight. For future pieces you could look up references that really align with the vibe you want (if you want something more dynamic for example) and work with those
