4.) Finally, don't start your first shoot with a white background when you're working with an olive-toned model wearing a white and ivory ensemble..

One of the techniques I use with high-key clothing is to use black panels to suck light away from your model/subject. I place 4'x6' panels to either side of my model and adjust them to get the texture and slight shadows in the clothing right. You can use fabric or painted foam-core. I also place them so that they extend a little behind the model. This gives you a nice limb effect while enabling you to use off-axis lighting.
