I second paullucas' comments. Bit too tight top for her, though she looks very pretty and has a lovely smile.
Best regards,
Tobio

Wow, ok, you have come a long way with your lighting. Only a slight shadow on her right arm where a reflector would get rid of that.
Only thing I don't like and it's not anything to do with the lighting and that is the top that the model is wearing. I know it's meant to be tight but it is pinching her skin on the left side under her arm, it doesn't look comfortable for her and looks ugly in the picture. The model is a tad large for that top, I don't mean that in a disrespectful way. She is a very pretty model so this has to be emphasized in your choice of clothing, posing and lighting, the last 2 are points have improved in leaps and bounds.
How many lights are you using? My guess is 2
I also guess thta you are still whitening the background using PS or similar. I only say this as the edges of her hair look slighty burnt.
A very good shot though and the lighting is a lot better!
Well done
Paul

Thanks Paul
taking a little more time
The 'studio' is very small and a low ceiling
I'm using 2 Bowen's and a speedlight through a Lastolite eazybox.
I agree the top is to tight
I'm having real difficulty in controlling light spill fro the background and therefore correct in PS
The background is just a white bed sheet.
The photo was taken on a hen with 21 women and they were rushing through and having a 'studio snap'.
The upside of this is I have sold over 20 pictures and a photobook.
Got another hen night, a birthday party, a hen nighter has booked a private session and I got a wedding commission so it will all allow me to practise a lot.
Im really grateful for your comments
cheers
