gussies
Makes more presentable
Gussies is the third-person singular of gussy, almost always appearing in the phrasal verb gussy up—to dress up or make fancy: She gussies up for every occasion.
The word suggests putting extra effort into appearance, often with a hint of overdoing it: He gussies up his résumé with buzzwords.
