dress
One-piece female attire
Verbal uses of dress are about putting one thing on another, such as clothes on a person, medicine on a wound, or condiments on a salad.
If you simply dress, you put clothes on yourself, which results in the state of being dressed.
As a noun, dress divides its meanings between countable and uncountable uses.
Dress, generally, characterizes the clothes that people wear: ceremonial dress, casual dress.
