getting dressed

Donning your outfit

Getting dressed is the act of putting on clothes, typically as part of a daily routine.

The phrase implies a complete process rather than just pulling on a single garment: I'll be ready in ten minutes—I'm still getting dressed.

It often suggests preparing to go out or be seen: Give me a moment to get dressed before you come in.
