To be perfectly honest, I use dark background now, because ironning my white background for every shooting was really really boring. I should invest in paper-rolls...

Oh Maud.. she never seizes to amaze me.. 
Very nice portrait! I would probably have brightened up her dress a little bit though, to make the image seem more balanced

She is an amazing girl.
I'll have a try with digital brightening for the dress, just to have a look.

I've done the Brightening. It's not extrem, but gives a better look of the overall silhouette. What do think of it ?

I would have done it like this: [link]
Tone down her skin colour a bit and raise the levels of the dress/hair. It requires some effort to mask out parts that you don't want to brighten or darken (it took me 3 Level adjustment layers with masks) but it's worth it I think. I don't know what you would prefer, at the end of the day it's your photography

Your result is excellent, way more "pushed" that what I've done. I'll try to reproduce this kind of things. And ask you if I don't manage to
Thanks for you time & efforts.
