Very nice composition and lighting.

I think this is good enough of its type that people won't be able to help you without your saying what you want to do. It's a competently executed but very generic shot that doesn't say anything except "Attractive young women are, well, *attractive!*" And it shows you're perfectly competent to take senior portraits in a studio. Was that what you wanted? It's a perfectly valid goal.
Ok - one failing, the combination of glare and rumpling at the abdomen distracts from the face and the lack of tonal separation with the left arm makes the model's waist look bulky.
This is true that I haven't added any description about the photo. It should be an agency test shoot that purpose is to sell her beauty/personality best I can. So the last sentence is pretty valid to me, as I didn't think about that part this way. Thank you for your time and good catch!
Then for the purpose stated you've done *very* well with the face but I the rumpling is a problem. It's at a glare spot so it attracts attention away from the face and makes her waist look wider.
I'd suggest carrying bulldog clips, pegs and gaffer tape and trying to make a "rumple scan" part of every shutter press. Another trick that sometimes works is putting little weights on bulldog clips. (Sorry - technically speaking, FOLDER clips - the ones with really wide jaws for hold A4 papers clipboard style - you need the wide jaw to distribute the weight without damaging fabric.)
(I really long to shoot with a stylist so someone else can worry about this stuff!)
Yes I know what you mean, and actually I used that clips for different shot that day with too big pants, yet trues is that waist is not well exposed. Something to consider better next time, thanks!
