traditional costume/ out fit


Explanation:
In a given event dresses or any other garments are referred to as costumes.

OUTFIT encompasses all worn items-and very frequently used the in US .

Traditional is a must in this case. TYPICAL DRESS, not very appropriate as typical usually precedes another identifier: i.e typical to the region, typical of this person, etc. As an adjective, typical is a false Spanish/English cognate
