The question — conform to the apparent norms of the minyan, or my usual style.
I dress pretty typically for Shabbat, afaik. A lace pencil skirt with a blouse. A sheath dress, or other dress that’s just a touch too dressy for work. Or, occasionally, a professional work appropriate dress. Not too dressy, just a bit “more” than everyday.
A friend invited me to her shul, which I enjoyed, and would like to go back to. But the women there decidedly dress down. The look ranged from something that I would have sworn was a house dress to a plain cotton skirt and striped blouse. I would feel funny in shul like that, but I also don’t want to dress inappropriately for that shul.
What would you wear? So far, I’ve opted towards the more casual end of my usual Shabbat style, but it’s still way more dressy than others wear.

I wear what makes me feel connected to Shabbos. Some people dress more casually and some dress even dressier than I do. I don’t think you have to dress according to the crowd at shul. You should dress in way that makes you yourself feel like you are dressed Lekovod Shabbos. That’s my personal opinion.

Don't dress down below what you wear for Shabbos normally. It's obvious that these people aren't superficial, right? So hopefully they aren't so militantly anti-superficial that they would look down on you for not wearing their uniform. Especially since you've already enjoyed the shul which means that you haven't picked up such vibes. On the off chance you do, focus on the many wonderful points of this kehilla, including having such a lovely shul.
Enjoy!
