When you say she's "too big", then you can always make her smaller. It all depends on where she is positioned in the scene and how far away she's supposed to be.

Here's a woman at the beach. Obviously, the horizon line goes right through her head, just below ear level.

Below that is a garden scene, where I drew a red line estimating the horizon.

To place the woman correctly in the garden, the garden's horizon line should run just below the woman's ears. If she's near us, she will be large. If she's far away, she'll be small. But in all cases the horizon runs at her ear level. I've placed three different sizes of her to illustrate this.

In your example, the second woman (in the blue dress) doesn't have a background where the horizon is obvious. But you can just guess by eye. Are we looking up at her? Are we looking down at her? Are we approximately level with her? The perspective of the woman in the blue dress doesn't seem too different from the surfer woman, so just call it a day and make the horizon the same for both—through the hips.
