dressing-rooms

Backstage changing areas

Dressing-rooms are spaces where people change clothes.

In theaters, performers use dressing-rooms to put on costumes and makeup before going onstage.

In retail stores, dressing-rooms (or fitting rooms) let customers try on clothing before purchase.

In sports venues, teams have dressing-rooms where players change into uniforms: The coach addressed the team in the dressing-room at halftime.
