Yes, your example is exactly correct. Dress can be intransitive (as you used it) or transitive (She dressed her daughter in pink).

Why did the cucumber blush when it was put in the fridge? Because he saw the salad dressing.

I �d say she washed and dressed. I �m not sure if you can use a reflexive pronoun with the verb "to wash"
