hussy up

hussy up

Of a girl or woman, to dress in a sexually provocative or brazen manner. Everyone was aghast that the young woman Tom brought as a date to his uncle's funeral had hussied up in a revealing backless dress. I just can't get over all these teenage girls getting hussied up for school dances as if they were in their 30s or something.
