If she is the only one dressed in 18thC, then it's more of a costume
and the indoor/outdoor thing does not matter so much.
I'm not sure if there are different "rules" that go with a compere
front gown. You don't often have buttons as the closure on women's
clothing except for riding habits, which are a masculine style.
Since the compere has buttons, the rules may change. You would need
to look at pictures of that style gown, which it sounds like you are
out of time to do!
Usually a cap is worn underneath a hat. Then there is a dressed
hairstyle that has feathers, ribbons, etc - no hat or cap. But
again, does it go with the compere gown?
And does that matter to 21stC people attending an exhibit opening?
