undress
Shed your garments
Undress is to remove clothing—your own or someone else's.
The noun undress refers to a state of partial or complete nakedness: in a state of undress.
In military contexts, undress denotes informal uniform as opposed to full dress regalia.
The word carries mild erotic connotations when describing the act of removing another person's clothes.
