To this moment I haven't seen any young Scottish women dressed in something that looks "traditional/historical" outside of reenactments.
    Obviously my experience is very limited.
    You are quite right, I didn't read the original post carefully enough. A contemporary young woman attending a ceilidh would wear contemporary dress reflecting the level of formality of the function, which could vary from jeans & T-shirt (local village hall ceilidh) to cocktail dress (or I suppose even ball gown?) for a clan gathering. She would not wear any form of modified kilt.

    I suggest that Skye researches ceilidhs, as I think that's what he's getting at.
