DRESSING ROOM

:''For media works titled ''Changing Rooms'', see Changing Rooms.''
The term 'dressing room' may be applied to different places.

★ In architectural parlance, and in the larger houses, a 'dressing room' is a small room next to a bedroom, used by the occupants to give privacy during dressing and undressing.

★ In a theatre and a concert hall, 'dressing room's are provided for the performers to assume their costumes and makeup. The "star dressing room" is used by the principal actor and/or actress.

★ A 'dressing room' (also called a 'fitting room', particularly in Britain) in a clothing store is a small enclosure with mirrors where one can try on clothing privately. The purpose of a dressing room is for patrons to ensure that articles of clothing fit properly, and look good on them before committing to a purchase.
