If you really want to find suggestions, cosplay.com has a subforum for people who want to solicit this kind of assistance.

But I'm firmly in the "cosplay whatever you want" camp. Before mainstream media even started using the word cosplay it's always been about "whatever you want" and not who you look the most like, there were a few years in the mid-late 2000's where a handful of newcomers to the hobby started screeching about body type and skin color, hair color, eye color, and even being the same height as the character. Most of them were shouted down relentlessly and now opinion is finally swaying back toward "whatever you want" instead of militantly searching for characters who are exactly like you.

I've always said, the only advantage of cosplaying someone who might kind of look like you is having to put less effort into hair and makeup. It will absolutely not make you have a better costume by default.
