The wearing of a costume, attitude, posture and staying in character, is a performance art in itself.
I totally forgot about performance art.
Here is another thought - if the outfit is upper class, in beautiful silk with the perfect trimming, people will say "art". What about the perfect lower-class outfit, with coarse fabric and the wear that comes with actual use - is that as much "art" as the upper class dress?
If it's in an art museum then somebody must think it's art...
