Jean, I once changed an outfit. I was trying to take photos for a demo and the child I planned to use wasn't giving me the expressions I wanted so I switched to her younger sister, who was wearing a gray sweatshirt. I used a catalogue of children's clothing and found a model in roughly the same pose, so it worked fairly well.
I like the pose and the loose painterly look you have going there, but the child in your portrait looks older than your reference photo model. I think the forehead needs to be higher and there should be more hair at the top of the head, but also the cheeks in the painting aren't as full as the model's and the chin and jaw are perhaps a little too prominent. A child's jaw is softer, rounder, and less developed. But possibly you're not interested in the age but more in the look.
