I love #1 and #3. Her smile is great in #1, and I like the angle. In #3, her eyes really pop. I like the angle of her arm filling the ride side of the frame.
I think her expression in #2 is fine, but I'm not loving the angle, and in #4 something about her mouth makes her look tense.
Ditto to Caroline. Love 1&3. I think her lips are about the same from 3 to 4, but there is a strong highlight on the back side of 4, which makes them seem a bit thinner [I think].
Here's an idea I probably wouldn't have thought of while shooting, but a small snooted kicker aimed from the left might have given the separation needed show her form so that the black didn't glob together on itself.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my awesomeness goes all the way to 11.
Good job. Rocking high key earns tons of respect in my book. It takes a decent amount of skill just to set it up, and after you do, it's just you and the subject. There's no environment to make your job easier. Number 3 is phenomenal in this respect. Just looking at the one image, it almost makes you feel like you know her.
I agree with Nikolai on number 2. Back off a little.
1 & 4 are great. 2 needs some help. Her right chest/shoulder area looks large and unflattering. Your not showing off roundness of the hips. Take the top knee and bring it forward and try to touch the floor in front of her with it.
On 3 you have her chin down and it is causing her face to fatten up. Get your camera up higher and bring her chin up to fix that. She is too pretty to look that fat.

Love #4.
But I still think you're shooting too close and too wide (esp on #2)
