Below are my comments on specific details.

I really love this sketch. I did it fast and forced myself to stop so I didn't mess it up by overworking it. I like the fashiony model look. I just think the lines and curves work together great to make this active, idealized female image.

You can see the support lines, like the spine, that chart the direction of the shapes.

I overworked the breast a bit there, while there's not much to the other one since it flattens out because her arm is up. And the clavicles turned into this weird V thing like a collar. But I think I like that.

This hand is just a W but somehow it looks really good. You can imagine the fingers and thumb easily. I also like the tilt of the hips.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I drool over drawing the back-of-knee curves. The drawing holds up despite there being no left leg ... !
