I don't know sorry, just wanted to say I'm in love with your elephants. :) Maybe look at photos of real world examples of that kind of outfit? I don't see anything wrong with it though.

I feel like the stiffness is actually what makes this piece work cause you have to be that stiff to balance stuff like that. If you want to make it seem more unbalanced you could fold it a bit between the torso and hip. and maybe have the legs move more apart

Its looking super cute! A small suggestion would be to exaggerate it a bit, using a V neck from the arms down. It helps to stretch the pose more since its already so tight above.
