I found a blouse I actually want to draw into this piece. It's a bit weird to dress it after the fact since fashion illustration should be about the garment first and foremost, but in this case it was more about the composition. In some ways, I had a modern Maria Clara invisioned, because the pose and the need for a white blousey top reminds me of a Maria Clara image.
The blouse is a recent vintage Valentino that my friend Greg was selling in his vintage store. I always loved a cape/poncho, and this one had a slight ruffled flounce on the wrist end of the ponchoi shirt, which gave it just enough femininity. Although now that I've drawn it in, I think her hands are eay too small. Need to adjust that.
