Happily the uniform regulations are online, with photos showing people wearing each order of dress.
Things that bite people putting together military uniforms include
1) mixing things from different orders of dress
2) mixing things from different time-periods
3) mixing things from different units
4) mixing military and civilian items
and last but not least
5) having the right kit but not wearing it properly.
With the regulations and the photos therein as your guide you should be able to avoid all those pitfalls.
I see just about all the items required for No1 Dress show up on Ebay regularly: the Glengarry, doublet, badges, belt, sporran, kilt, hose-tops, flashes, spats, brogues. I think the least-seen thing is the doublet. There's only one up now, an officer's doublet.
