I wonder whether it is grammatically correct or whether it sounds odd.
Someone tells me that it means that someone dresses her in bright-coloured clothes. But this is not what I am trying to express. What I mean is that she used to wear bright-coloured clothes.
What do you think about it? |

Miranda: "being dressed in" and "wearing" means the same thing.
I am dressed in trousers, shirt and a jacket.
I am wearing trousers, shirt and a jacket.
Two ways of saying the same thing |
