Very cool find in Sweden!
What impresses me is how she supports assessments of human societies of that time and before being most often if not always matrist. The status of women plummeted approximately 6,000 years ago from leadership/shared leadership, to a level more like that of livestock.
Seems fairly correct to me, both anatomically and attire-wise considering that she was buried approx. 7,000 years ago.
People living in those times would, most likely, not have adapted to the climates of the regions as much as we would expect, i.e. dark skin, dark eyes would still be the 'norm' since their predecessors would have wandered in from much warmer climes and brighter sunshine periods, etc, the dominant genes for dark skin and eyes would still be active but slowly receding as generations were being born until now where we have the light skin and pale eye colorings being predominant.
Forensic facial reconstructions are a very highly disciplined and almost exacting 'art' and usually there is very little leeway for 'artistic' interpretations.
