Re-enacting made the whole dressing thing (both sexes) very real to me. Any scene of mine where clothes can go on and off does not need dialog tags--getting dressed provides as many 'action beats' as could be desired. Or getting armored. But you have to know it so well that it almost goes without saying: first the under layer (armor padding or corsets, take your pick) then the outer layer, and last the decorative bits. Which are often the real cause of discussion or concern -- is this (whatever item) suited? will it be enough? too much? is it in bad repair? will it get your protag killed? (as in, inadequate/damaged armor).
I have the same opportunity when my characters manage their animals.
