being dressed

Not in nude

Being dressed means wearing clothes, as opposed to being naked or in a state of undress.

The phrase often implies a completed process—you've finished putting on clothes and are ready to be seen: Give me five minutes; I'm not dressed yet.

Being dressed can also suggest a particular level of formality: being dressed for dinner, being dressed in your Sunday best.
