Great light, great costume.

If you want soft light that is particularly flattering with an older female model, position things so that the light is coming from slightly behind you and off to the side a bit. Using a large window, or photographing the model when she's close to the window will provide a wrap-around light source that is flattering also.

Forgive the crude quality of this lighting diagram (good thing my portrait painting medium is not pixels!) but this should give you a general idea of what I mean.

The size of her hand never occurred to me.
