I wonder whether "I'm done up" is a British expression.
In American English, if someone is "done up",
it means that they are clean, coifed, and stylishly dressed.
It connotes a large amount of effort that was expended
to appear that way.

I don't think it's a British expression, I've never heard of it. It's in Merriam Webster though (American): https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/do%20up and wiktionary lists it as obsolete: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/done_up
