garbing
Clothing oneself in
Garbing is the act of dressing or clothing someone, often in distinctive attire: The attendants were garbing the priest in ceremonial robes.
The word carries a slightly formal or archaic tone, suggesting deliberate or ritualistic dressing rather than everyday getting dressed.
