Support the costume, build a frame, weld it, construct wire, build up chicken wire and papier-mâché (watch the weight of it though!)

Texture, consider adding interesting surfaces, smooth contrasting rough, soft and hard, fluffy and sharp, etc.

Colour, will the costume's colour tie in with the overall theme,
try making one colour interesting by building up different tones of it?

Finer details often make a costume, e.g. beading, gluing small parts, origami, fine wire-work, chain metal-work, inscription, paint details.

Paint effects, e.g. spattering, spraying, using metallic/unusual paint like Hammerite, creating rust/bronze/chrome effects, highlighting raised parts, blending, creating sharp contrasts and illusions

Distinctive characteristics e.g. wheels, lights inside the costume, water/glitter spraying, moving parts,extra wide, extra high &(But it is essential to consult with Real Event Solutions before doing something
extra weird &there could be restrictions due to stage-lighting, safety, space etc.)

Anticipated problems &there may be problems with costumes that are too heavy, too big to fit through doors, do not have enough space to move legs. Also consider whether it can travel, can get up steps, or whether it will stay held together. Will it also be comfortable during long rehearsals and performances;will the model be able to breath in it?

But ultimately, let your imagination run wild. Pursue your idea, it may not be so crazy & There is always a way to get around obstacles, consult other teachers (e.g. woodwork, metal work, home-economics, Art, etc), someone's parent, DIY enthusiasts, local tradesmen, etc for help or you can always contact us by email/website and we'll find a way to achieve your vision &
