I'd be tempted to book yourself in for a few more lessons before you go or do a "learn to ski in a day session"

You will get so much more from your holiday if you have got a grip on the basics.

As for snow dome clothes - I'd suggest wearing your salopettes & ski jacket - I suspect you will be too warm for a fleece or thermals (learning to ski is hard work). Gloves are essential.

You can wear jeans and a jumper but you are likely to park it (my daughters' term for falling) & an hour in damp clothes is miserable!
(Different on a dry slope where you might prefer your £3 Asda jeans to get a friction burn than your nice ski gear!)

You can

Seriously don't wear good kit to a dry slope.
Snowdome's fine on your kit because it's artificial snow.
