the topoloy is not very good, and even with a better topology you’ll need to find a way to make the shirt bend correctly, you can’t count on the leg only, maybe you should put some bones all around the bottom to be able to bend it correctly (or use cloth physics). Also as Joseph says you need to flip the shirt normals.
