Dressed to the Teeth
(dressed elegantly)
Did you see Hilda at the party last night?
Yes, I did. She was really dressed to the teeth!
Well, she had on her finest, most elegant clothing because she was out to
make a good impression on Bill.
Eyes are Bigger Than One's Stomach
(take more food than one can eat)
Chris, why don't you finish eating that third helping of dessert?
I guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach when I said I wanted more.
I'm not surprised. The same thing happens to me. Sometimes, when I'm really
hungry, I'll take more food than I can possibly eat.
Make the Grade
(to be satisfactory; to be what is expected)
I’m sorry, but your work doesn’t exactly make the grade.
This meal doesn’t just make the grade. It is excellent.
