May I ask you a question?
I saw this sentence in an English textbook.
”My father was dressed in his best suit.”
Can I put it in other ways?
For example,
”My father wore his best suit.” or "My father was wearing his best suit."

Can you help me? Do these sentences have the same meanings?
Can I say this in another way?
As for "My father wore his best suit" vs "My father was wearing his best suit," I would consider the tense of the surrounding sentences and match the tense.
I ofthen say to Japanese learners, "前後の文脈によります"
