Usually in this sense, we say "decked out," or more expressively, "all decked out."

Or as we used to say in the 80's (when we were gettin ready to go to The Palace) "Man, you're stylin'"!

We use it in Vermont too, but also applies to other things like "wow, you really got that room all decked out for the party". And a lot of people here use it to mean "get punched"=get decked. And I've heard it used like that a lot in Mass.
