Going out in a kilt - lots of Scots & Brits do it - but they have an appropriate top garment ( eg Blazer ) and socks. You will not get reactions from the kilt with which you can gauge reaction to full-femme.

EDIT:

I've thought alot about what you wrote - maybe you feel it's "baby steps" for your coming out
but I think it is baby steps in the wrong direction and you may be too confused to see that doing it
"half-assed" and failing on purpose is worse than trying your best and worrying about passing.

You may be so afraid to fail that you are inclined to go that way to feel safe and not feel rejection
from trying your hardest to look feminine and not succeeding. Maybe you just need some help
from someone who can pick out a good outfit and do you makeup and consult on hair, etc.
I agree completely. Either dress or not. Going out thinking your testing the waters in a kilt, really isnt testing the waters, and trying to "not pass" really comes across as a joke.
