Thank you and thanks again for your help!

It's lovely! Maybe try outlining the dress (with a thin line in a darker color) to make it stand out more

I love the details in this dress, maybe a little more shading or a light pattern?

Sativian.. lovely I can see how you have improved between the first and second.. I agree with MM the outline around will make it stand out a bit more.. and also I would suggest blending the lines on the dress a bit more so they are not so hard especially on the red skirt part.. the top looks great!!

MiseryNightshade.. it looks so soft and elegant.. I love it.. what I think might be missing is a little texture to the fabric.. like a monocramatic pattern.. ^_^

Neriah.. I love the detail it is obvious you spent a great deal on it.. If I were to do it I am not to sure about the thing on the top of the bodice.. it just doesn't look like it belongs.. and I would maybe make the shading on the top part of the skirt a little darker with the shading under it between the two skirt... But I think it is wonderful hon!! Well done!

Very nice hon.. love the detail.. I would clean up the edges a bit and for me.. I would change the color of the belt to white or black.. the red pops but the hues don't seem to go together.. But I love the detail you gave it..

Here I am also to try and help.

@Sativian - Wow, we can really see how your editing has improved. I just love that second dress... You just need to be more bolder with the shadows.

I started to explain but got confused how to express myself so I took your drawing and added a little bit more shadows to demonstrate. Hope you don't mind...

WITH SHADOWS ADDED BY ME


As your see I didn't change anything big, just some details.
1) Added shadows on the sides of the dress. Because light falls from the left, shadow on right side of the dress should be wider.
2) Added shadows to creases on the dress (I hope that's the right term). Generally when you draw the fabric fold you need to add the light to the highest point and to the other side you need to add a little bit of shadow... That makes them look more realistic. I did that for red and white part of the dress and you see how now they look more defined. Especially the white part now doesn't look so blank.
3) Also I blurred white highlights a little. So they would blend with dress a little bit more...

Ok so although all this sound like a big critique, it is not. Your edit is beautiful and you did great work. It took me a couple of minutes to do these changes... Maybe there sould be even more shadows on the dress. I am also not so good with them. ^_^

WOW I really over-did it with criticizing. LOL
I will try to comment on next edit a little bit later.
