Alternate is when they wear something completely different or a drastic change. Adapted is when the outfit is closer to the original with something extra, like frills or a pattern.

Of course, I could be wrong.
Adapted is more like a different outfit that keeps the same feel as the original. if there's just extra bits or whatever, it's embellished_costume.
