How about using a diffuser? It would probably give a softer lighting than a reflector. Try positioning a large white blanket between the sun and the model. The blanket should of course be large enough to cover the model from head to toe. You probably have to find a way to tie the blanket to something tall and place it close to the model. It is a cheap and effective solution, so give it a try.
Looking through your portfolio, I think you have a really neat series with these garden shots. Keep up the good work!

There are different things you can buy to help with lighting, but I'm one who loves to deal with the camera only and using natural lighting and flash. So here is my opinion on how to acheive the shot you are looking for.
Put her in shade or different time of day early morning or sun set to capture the natural skin tones and silkyness of the dress. Direct sunlight is not very flattering at all on people. The sun beating down on the skin and face is very very harsh and yucky.
While photographing your model, since you are looking for a perfect effect; before snapping the shot, make sure you study her closly making sure there are no sun spots on her dress or face. You can also add a tad bit of flash very low; to help give the photo a tad bit more light. Which can also help in making the face stand out more beautiful as well. Try to capture the gleam in her beautiful eyes if possible. she has gorgeous eyes.
your model work is beautiful and you have the eye for this style of work. as with other styles I see in your portfolilo. Your model work is stong and stands out. keep up the great work. enjoy veiwing it all.

How about the model sitting or reclining in a flower meadow. I agree with Richard that softer light would help- early morning light is usually good for me to take photos (being so inept with my cameras!). The fabric folds would then look richer.
This pose is my least favourite but both she and the clothes are wonderful to look and I would be interested in seeing the final results.

In my opinion, the clothing and the model would both fare better under less harsh lighting than midday sunlight. An overcast day, or shade or a flash in a lightbox would render less severe contrasts. Maybe a soft filter (or PS equivilant)would also get you to where you want to be.
