Ponerse las mejores galas

Ponerse las mejores galas

Not long ago we exchanged information about how to translate "dress up into Spanish. I've found out one that is quite used. It's "ponerse las/mis ...........mejores galas.

Examples:
Como se casaba mi hermana, me puse mis mejores galas.
Se puso sus mejores galas para ir a su primera cita con ese chico.
Cuando éramos chicos nos poníamos nuestras mejores galas los días domingo.


There is a new term for to dress up but it's only used among actresses, models, performers etc. Some girls could also use it. It's the verb "producirse"

Esa cantante se toma tres horas para producirse. Julia Morelos no sale a la calle si no está perfectamente producida.

Please feel free to correct my English.
