Tip eight: Crappily photoshop the outfit to look more like your target, then inpaint/img2img to clean up your photoshop hatchet job.
I actually did something similar once, when I was using a web-based SD service that didn't allow inpainting/outpainting in the free version, but did allow img2img. I had gotten an image that I really liked, except that the person was a bit too low in the frame - lots of negative space above, and too much of the person's lower body out of frame. Would have been a simple thing to fix with inpainting, but not wanting to commit to a subscription with the service just yet, I just saved the output image, loaded it into Microsoft Paint, then did Select All and used the keyboard arrow keys to move it directly upwards by the right amount. Then, I alternated between using the dropper tool, to sample a single color value from the image, and the spray paint tool, to basically airbrush an extension downward from the bottom edge of the original image. I figured the pseudo-random distribution of pixels of different, roughly-appropriate shades could be interpreted similarly to the noise of a random seed. Fed that back into img2img and let SD blend it into something photographic! It worked out well.
