I think you can, but we're talking a lot of expensive fabrics/leather/metal, interfacing, boning, foundation garments. You'd need to custom build the girdle and then drape the coat over it. That is...it'd need to be clothing, not costume.
And if you're spending the same amount of money and effort you would on a handsewn Bespoke Suit or an 18th century gown or a armor set...why not just make that instead?
I'm not sure. I think the outfit fundamentally just comes across as campy when you bring it to reality, which is a problem when you're trying to project a kind of sinister alien living-god aura that you can't quite understand.
Yeah, I think the overlap between the people with the time/knowledge/resources to make such an item of clothing, and the people interested in cosplaying Sephiroth for more than a single con is very very slim.
