Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could wear instead? A coif is unsuitable as I will be with other people, not in a domestic situation.

The Tres Riches Heures has a few scenes with ladies in gowns and headdresses, there might be an alternative for you there. April and May have the scenes with the ladies. One is wearing a padded, stuffed roll with no veil. It's a few decades earlier, but I think it will still look ok with a houppelande.
