They want full length but does the chair become too much for her? Is the angle of the photographer bothersome - the viewer is looking slightly up at the subject and the chair needs a little straightening.
Virginia:

Here are my thoughts:

I think the first thing I would do is bring the image into photoshop, or the like, and try rotating it slightly to the counter clockwise. I'd play with this some and see if I could make the image read a bit better in this regard. You might get a much more confident feel for the image if you do this. I'd do it for you but I'm without my program for the time being.

As to the chair being "too much for her?" I don't think it would have to be. I think you would have to pay close attention to controlling the values of the chair in relation to the subject. You can always fudge the color of her dress to differentiate it from the chair.

As far as the photographers angle, this doesn't bother me.

I hope you have a good high res. image, or better yet, some details of her face, feet and hands. There's a lot of sameness in that lighting. This would be the thing that scared me the most.
