The answer

There is no harm in wearing these clothes, as long as they are not exclusively worn by dissolute women. A woman may wear whatever she wishes for her husband, as long as it does not violate Islamic law, such as being exclusive to men or a symbol of infidel or dissolute women. The criterion for prohibited imitation is that which is exclusive to disbelievers or transgressors. If something becomes widespread among Muslims and is no longer distinctive to disbelievers and transgressors, then it falls outside the meaning of prohibited imitation. These clothes are not exclusive to dissolute women.
