Dresses to impress
To doll up is to dress elaborately or make fancy, usually for a special occasion: She dolled herself up for the party.
The phrase suggests deliberate glamour or prettiness—makeup, jewelry, nice clothes.
Things can also be dolled up: They dolled up the old house with fresh paint and flowers.
