A good start. But your best shots - 3 and 4 - are brought down by hand placement -

Keep hands and arms in the plane of the body and shows sides rather than backs when you can. Or for a shot like 4 shoot with a long tele and a lot of distance to flatten perspective.

..Hands are the biggest issue people don't understand when they start fashion and its always a pain except when you work with really great models.

The first shot should have been an obvious cull. It doesn't make the garment look good, it's messy, and the light throwing through on one side and not the other looks wrong. The arm shadow is ugly too. If you're going to shoot with the sun showing through, the shape of the arm shadow is critical - and unless you have a good reason otherwise, position so both sides are backlit. When you get an idea like this, think it through as much as you can, then shoot variations. With each, ask yourself what you are trying to achieve and how the shot works towards it.

Awesome! My favourite shot is 4, closely followed by 3 and 5. I like the movement and they seem more free and natural.

Looks like you had the perfect weather.
