toilette

Dressing and grooming

Toilette is a somewhat old-fashioned or affected term for the process of washing, grooming, and dressing oneself: She was at her toilette when the guests arrived.

It can also refer to one's outfit or style of dress.

The word is French, pronounced with two syllables, and lends a certain elegance or formality that "getting ready" lacks.

Eau de toilette is a lightly scented liquid applied after bathing.
