Pretty good I think. I like the choice of background, especially as the flowers are similar in colour to her hair and skin. I think perhaps though you might have gotten more atmosphere in this shot if you'd underexposed slightly so that the flowers fade more into the blackness of the cloth, this would make them more ambiguous - as to whether they are really motif on a cloth or actually flowers. Or if you have Photoshop or a similar such program you could try a "Replace Colour", select the black, and increase the darkness. That I think would really add strength to this shot, at present that blacks are slightly weak. And doing that would not only start to fade out the flower background but it would bring up the slits of shadow in her hair, giving it much more power and lustre.

In terms of it's success as a fashion shot perhaps there is not enough emphasis upon the corset itself, since that seems to be what you'd be wanting to focus on. Perhaps a portrait frame might have been better then a landscape in that case. But I might be wrong, maybe you weren't looking to emphasis that, in which case it's fine.

The pose I think is okay, she is very square in the shoulders but that looks deliberate and would certainly match the corset. I am thinking though that perhaps you'd get more effect from such a pose with the frame taller then it is wide so we can see more of her stiff body, I might be wrong though (I'm just putting forward impressions feel free to disregard any/all of it). Anyway, I like her averted eyes, I think that fits with the corset again (along with the squared shoulders) - it's interesting though that you framed it such that she is looking into the smaller space rather then into the larger space on the right. I don't know what the effect of having it the other way around would be, but I just thought I'd point it out.

Framing, as I said maybe a long frame might have been better but you probably tried that. Apart from that perhaps a little bit more space above her head and a little less on the left might have been better. She looks a bit crammed at the top.

But anyways, nice work.

very pretty, even though I would like her skin to be a bit paler.. but love the pose, and the crop of the phot.. very good!
