changing room

Where clothes tried

A changing room is a space where people change clothes, typically in stores for trying on garments before purchase, or at gyms, pools, and sports facilities.

British English uses changing room where American English often prefers fitting room (in stores) or locker room (in athletic contexts): The changing rooms are at the back of the store.
