This is much better than your previous submission. I really love the colors for this outfit and the elements you have added to the dress itself really builds a marvelous essence of grace. These elements have not conflicted with one another and go along as a good combination. I'm glad to see you've improved. However, you requested a critique, and I shall give that.

I know we have discussed your style of drawing figure models before, and it's fine the way you draw the shape, but in this occasion it isn't the shape that's wrong: as KittyKitty18 has said, the face is mildly disfigured. I know you do not care for these things in your artistic vision regarding your modus operandi, but it really does impact on your work; while the dress may look gorgeous, the face really does bring down its visual value. People tend to overlook some mistakes, but others may be fixated on them. This creates visual conflict, as what you originally intended to be appealing may be overlooked by some other flaw in your work. It is important that if something looks off in one's work, that they correct it or improve upon it, rather than say "good enough" and call it a day... even if it isn't the highlight of their work.

I suggest you return to drawing dressing mannequins in order to have the dress truly stand out. This way, you may never concern yourself with certain mistakes regarding figure drawing and instead solely focus on letting your imagination run wild with whatever concept you had in mind for whichever style of dress you fancy. However, if you instead wish to draw figure models to fit into your dresses, I urge you to insure their faces are in order to avoid having the appeal of your dresses brought down.

Take my criticism for what it's worth, as I simply seek improvement after improvement from your submissions. Above all else, I say the dress is a wonderful piece to your already splendid gallery, despite its irrelevant flaw. Also, please ignore my ratings as I feel they do not capture what I am voicing to you as my views on your innovative outlook on fashion. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
