It is as bad as bad can be: it is ill-fed, ill-killed, ill-kept, and ill-drest.

Of roast mutton served to him at an inn, June 3, 1784, p. 535.Samuel Johnson
» Samuel Johnson - all quotes »
Still to be neat, still to be drest,
As you were going to a feast.Ben Jonson
In the days when we went gypsying
A long time ago;
The lads and lassies in their best
Were drest from top to toe.Edwin Ransford
The verse adorn again
Fierce War, and faithful Love,
And Truth severe, by fairy Fiction drest.Thomas Gray
Who are these coming to the sacrifice?
To what green altar, O mysterious priest,
Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,
And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?John Keats
No daintie flowre or herbe that growes on grownd,
No arborett with painted blossoms drest
And smelling sweete, but there it might be fownd
To bud out faire, and throwe her sweete smels al arownd.Edmund Spenser
