"Dressing Up" is a poem by the 19th-century American poet and artist Thomas Buchanan Read. Known for his lyrical and often sentimental style, Read was a prominent figure in the literary and artistic circles of his time. Born in 1822 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Read's career spanned various forms of artistic expression, including painting and sculpture, but he is perhaps best remembered for his poetry.

"Dressing Up" exemplifies Read's ability to capture the nuances of everyday life and human emotions through his verse. The poem delves into themes of identity, transformation, and the social rituals associated with attire. It reflects the Victorian era's preoccupation with appearances and the societal expectations placed upon individuals to present themselves in certain ways. Through vivid imagery and a keen sense of observation, Read explores how clothing can serve as both a mask and a means of self-expression.

The poem is notable for its rhythmic quality and the use of rich, descriptive language. Read's attention to detail and his ability to evoke a sense of time and place make "Dressing Up" a compelling read. The poem also offers insights into the cultural and social dynamics of the 19th century, providing a window into the values and concerns of the period.

Thomas Buchanan Read's work, including "Dressing Up," continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its reflection of the era's cultural landscape. His contributions to American literature and art have cemented his place as a significant figure in the 19th-century artistic community.
