Not too bad. The original had some bad grayscale gradients (e.g., at her
hip area); those are sometimes a challenge to "iron out."  My personal
"quality control" check is to flip between the original & the repared image
to see if it looks right. There's some visible retouch artifacts at her
lower arm & the crease at upper thigh (that's a hard spot to fix, when the
logo lies over a bit of detail like that).

When I finish a delogo I usually also zoom in & work around the image
bit by bit, fixing the little dust spots, scratches & stuff, aiming to make
it look as near to an original photo as I can.  Of course, there's limits
to what one can do there, too, without painting in parts that aren't there.
I won't paint in stuff like that. I want my restoration to have not glaring
errors if eventually a never-logoed copy of the image turns up. Something
that helps is saving multiple versions of the image so I can see all parts
of the whole picture in one file or another, to guide me. It can be
tedious!
