Painting clothes in Photoshop - step six

In this step, I've taken the parts of the blouse that are hanging over (top of the sleeves, and the blowing bit on the lower left) and cut and pasted them to a new layer. Some cloth doesn't have an inside that is that different from the outside, but I began to think it might look a bit more rich and interesting if it was. I don't have to be exact at this point, so I just used the lasso tool (L) to draw a selection around them. Then, it's CTL-X to cut, and CTL-V to paste, and a new layer is automatically created with your selection on it.

At the very lower left of the blouse you can see where the cloth goes behind her body. You can paint this area without worrying about painting over her body. Just paint away, and then when you have it done, just hold down the CTL key, while selecting the body layer, and you'll see a selection based on the body layer. Get your eraser out (E) and erase the part of the blouse in front that's supposed to go behind.

There are things here to fix... in some areas the colors don't match up right... there are definite signs of over-burning... and something about those sleeves just don't agree with me.... so....
