dressing room

Actor's changing space

A dressing room is a space where people change clothes.

In theaters and performance venues, it's where actors and performers prepare before going on stage, applying makeup and getting into costume.

In retail stores, it's a small private area where customers try on clothing before purchasing.

Some homes have dressing rooms adjacent to bedrooms, serving as dedicated spaces for storing and putting on clothes.
