gussied up 

Something gussied up has been made more attractive, but in a showy or gimmicky way, so it’s often not intended to be a compliment. It can also refer to dressing in one’s finery for some special occasion, when it is intended to be taken more straightforwardly. It is usually considered to be an American expression, dating from the late 1930s or thereabouts.

[Gussie Mae]

Gussie Mae is used in the Bahamas to describe a very overweight woman. In the Bahamas this is not always a bad thing "because meat for man, bone for dog" Many Bahamian men prefer big girls. If a girl is just over weight she is "solid" -- a Gussie Mae is way past being chunky.
