I've had some earnest questions lately, such as 'how can Sothis wear her winter outfit here?' or 'is it even possible for ghosts to change clothes?'. Well, isn't the fact that she can have a different outfit at all proof enough that she can change outfits in canon? That would be how, obviously!

.83 - Byleth and Sothis and Etiquette
Byleth tries the suit on the next day. It's snug, it fits, it's dapper. It's everything a suit should be.
"Hm," the professor hums, turns around, and promptly stops humming.
"When... did I hire a maid?"
Sothis also indulges in her wardrobe—with something he cannot recall buying, picking out, or even seeing on display in the shop.
"If you intend on attending the ball," she says. "Then it is not enough for you to look the part, you must also act the part! You have to set an example for your darling little sheep, after all."
"Oh, is that so?" Byleth adjusts his collar. "I wasn't aware you were an expert on the subject."
"Cheeky!" she raises her cup. "We will most assuredly be working on that today! Pour me a cup of tea, won't you?"
"Wouldn't 'please pour me a cup of tea' be more appropriate?"
"Who is the teacher here—?!" Sothis gives pause. "Ah! Do not answer that!"
Happy smashing.
