Search for available material. Can you use an existing blindfold mod? Do any of the available stockings or thigh-high boots fit this character? Are any existing mods similar enough that they could be easily revised instead of creating a new mod from scratch?
Be specific about what you want. List out the components of the character design in order of priority. Is the hairstyle most important to you, or the dress? Do you care about the weapons at all? Should the blindfold be embedded into the hairstyle, or should it be removable?
Does the mod need to work with the vanilla game, or can the modder employ Loader features? Note: if you insist on a vanilla-compatible mod then the costume won't work in handjob mode.
Does the mod need to include support for the breast slider? If not, then which breast size would you like the modder to use?
Does the mod need to include support for RGB sliders?
3d renders are not good references. In-game screenshots are not good references. In extreme cases, screenshots or renders might be the only material material available.
This is NOT one of those cases. Nier Automata is very popular and there's an abundance of fanart. That's a great thing for modding ... but it means that someone will need to sift through the fanart in order to find a few good examples. Since you're making the request, that's your job.
You can retain the front-view illustrations and screenshots (as a rough guide for the official colors) but you should also search for anime-style illustrations which employ a simplified color palette and depict the subject in side view.
Here are two examples for the hair (12). Please note that the hair colors shown in these two images are very different; you should choose images which reflect your preferences (white hair OR blue hair, but not both).
You should try to find similar images for the various parts of the costume. A good hairstyle reference might also provide a good view of the blindfold and dress, but you'll probably need to find separate images for the boots and gloves.
Please remember that SDT support several different positions for the girl's hands (flat, clenched behind back, grasp for handjob). If you want the mod to support all of them then please try to provide lots of references for the gloves.
When you find a good reference image, please reupload it to an imagehost instead of hotlinking.
Please try to provide high-resolution images whenever possible. Modders need to draw in many small details on a costume (such as the silver filigree on the skirt) and this work is more difficult if the source image is blurry.
If your post becomes too large (e.g. 10+ reference images) then you can organize it into sections with Spoiler tags.
I took a quick look on Danbooru, following stuntcock's links, and there are numerous usable references for her hair. There are 1400+ pictures of this character (1700+ on Gelbooru) and she is very often seen from the side, that is unusual.
The main problem is she has a big fringe, and this is often a problem to fit SDT girl's head.
However, this issue can be solved if the fringe covers the eyes, but it make it look a bit strange.
I did a quick cutout on @idek's 3rd ref (it is not the good side, but the 4th ref has a too low resolution for this kind of job):
Hi I know I know I'm late to the party but I did my research for the existing ressources and wanted to reference everything I found that would fit except for the thigh highs and blindfold for which the vanilla's seems already appropriate
