Requesting Information/Pics for Cosplay Purposes

Hello everyone. I apologize if this topic is inappropriate; if it is, please notify me and I'll delete it.

I'm new to cosplaying, but for an upcoming convention, I'd like to cosplay Kaguya in her Season One outfit. Does anyone have any pics of Kaguya's costume (front and back view)? :) I'd really appreciate it if anyone would share pictures. Also, what footwear does Kaguya put on when wearing her Season 1 attire? I can't seem to find any pics of her footwear.

Lastly, since I don't know much about making accessories for cosplay, what kind of material do you think would be best used for making Kaguya's headband? And for tying her hair - what to use: gold ribbons, cords... or what?

Thank you very much for hearing me out. :)

I have a black and white line art of her back view (with her long hair out of the way) but I'm away from my dorm right now. I'll try to post a pic on Sunday if no one else provides it by then.

The official guidebook showed Kaguya wears tabi socks. I'm assuming that if she goes outdoors, she'll be wearing straw sandals with a red cord with the tabi socks.

For her headband/head piece, I used a gold cord/ thick string and created the thing on the center of her head with clay, a plastic red rhinestone, and a little bit of gold paint (that matched with the cord). I initially used Sculpey to create little beads (-oOo-) and then baked them. I strung them onto the gold cord and Krazy Glued them together. Then, I painted them in gold and I didn't get to do it the first time, but use Glaze on it.

I used my real hair (because it's that long XD), so for tying her hair, I used yellow-gold-ish ribbon and some construction tape. The construction tape doesn't hurt your hair and I basically used it to keep the ribbon from unraveling. If you're using a wig, I'd suggest glue and hairspray. XD;
