What attire is better if I don't have a dressage saddle?

I am doing a Combined Test on Sunday (dressage and stadium- no XC). I recently had to sell my dressage saddle because it no longer fit my horse comfortably. I haven't found another to replace it yet. We are doing this show on Sunday and it is okay for us to use our regular close-contact saddle for dressage. However, I'm not sure what I should wear because of this!

I have regular hunt attire (white shirt, jacket, tan breeches) and I also have my dressage attire (white shirt stock tie, dressage jacket, white breeches). I'd prefer to wear my dressage attire, but don't want to look stupid either since I am not using dressage tack.

What would you prefer?

    Since you're competing at a low-enough level that a non-dressage saddle is acceptable, then either attire would also be acceptable. (I assume your Dressage jacket is the standard, 4-button type, not a shadbelly.) Wear your Dressage attire; you'll be fine.

    lower your stirrups a few holes and go enjoy in your CC saddle.
