Not like throwing on a garment like we do today was it? it must have taken an hour to get dressed back then.
It all depended on who you were and what your station was. Peasants and serfs could dress quickly.
A friend of mine played Queen Elizabeth at a renaissance faire. She was visiting a different faire (not as ER), and got into a discussion "offstage" with the Queen there, who was inordinately proud of being able to get dressed by herself.
My friend was a bit appalled by this; for her, the hour or so of being dressed (not getting dressed) was important for her to get in to character each morning. It was just what she needed to detach from her daily jobs of being a museum tour guide and a voice actress.
