Hi Julia,
I like your painting very much, it has a nice clarity in design and values.
As you suggest your self, I also have comments to the likeness.
It is almost a rule that if one get started with the wrong proportions and angles it is most likely that every angle and proportion will be a little off.
At the first glance it looks like her if one compare one detail with the neighbouring detail.
If you look at the forehead you will see that the models is less vertical compared to the painting, the shape of the hair is different and the neck too long. Small things that you try to compensate for by tweeking the neighbouring features.
The best way to see these proportions is to place the reference next to the painting and look forth and back, many, many times, comparing one thing / size at a time from a distance of 2 - 3 steps.
