How do I make a DIY sunburst crown?

You can easily make one by attaching long plastic zip ties to a plain headband, trimming them into pointed sunbeam shapes, and spraying the entire piece with metallic gold paint.

What kind of dress works best for a Sun Goddess?

A flowing metallic gold maxi dress, a pleated yellow gown, or even a gold sequined bodysuit for a festival-style look.

Is this costume comfortable for cold weather?

The dress is typically lightweight, so you may want to layer a sheer gold cape or a nude thermal undershirt underneath if celebrating outdoors in the cold.
