dressy (adj.)

"喜欢穿着讲究或华丽的服装",1760年代,来自 dress(v.)+ -y(2)。

For as her natural face decays, her skill improves in making the artificial one. Well, nothing diverts me more than one of those fine, old, dressy things, who thinks to conceal her age by everywhere exposing her person; sticking herself up in the front of a side-box; trailing through a minuet at Almack's; and then, in the public gardens looking, for all the world, like one of the painted ruins of the place. [Goldsmith, "The Good Natured Man," 1768]
随着她的自然面容的衰退,她的技能在制作人造面容方面得到了提高。嗯,没有什么比那些精致的老式穿着更能吸引我的了,她们认为通过暴露自己的身体来掩盖自己的年龄; 在侧箱前面竖立自己; 在阿尔马克的舞会上拖着裙子跳舞; 然后,在公共花园里看起来,就像这个地方的一座油漆过的废墟。[戈德史密斯,《好心人》,1768年]
最早记录年份: 1760s
