I think to get all dressed up.
Put on (the) dog is an expression that means ‘to make a display of wealth or importance, especially by dressing stylishly and flashily’

HA! I havent' heard this expression in so long.
But yes- it means to get all "decked out" I think!

Get dressed up
For some reason I thought it kind of meant to pretend to be wealthy by dressing wealthy but I could be wrong.
