Building terms

[worths]

In building, what is a fully dressed lady

[Zacs-Master]

No idea but I don't think it has anything to do with food & drink.

[heathfield]

It refers to a building which externally appears to be of good quality structurally, and is aesthetically pleasing. But the original reference said that despite outward appearances, the lady might be suffering from poor health - i.e. the building's interior may be of poor quality.
