I asked here, if this sentence is right; It's time to get ready for your clothes.
Actually, I'm a Korean high shool student, and I've been America for an year. The sentence was on my english test. I'm in 11th grade here.
This is the situation. A girl was cast for a drama, and her manger said, " I think it's time to get ready for your clothes."
Is the sentence gramatically right? I asked if it is wrong, but my teacher said nothing wrong with this. I told him that I asked several native Eglish speakers, but he said they were not professors and stufffff
I, actually don't know exactly, but when I was taking the test, I thought the meaning is not something like preparing some clothes.
can anybody answer my Q?

sorry, but can you figure out this meaning form the sentence?; They are going to go get her clothes because of the role she've got.
on the test, it didn't mean to put her clothes on.

It means that it is time to prepare to put on your clothes. It is fine grammatically.

Umn, it sure sounds a lot like a hanging modifier... I feel as though it is suggesting that the clothes are waiting for the actress to get ready for something, but the sentence doesn't explain for what the actress should get ready.
Edit::
In addition, as an employee in the service industry I do not consider my opinion to be any less valuable than that of a high school teacher.

technically, it is not grammatically incorrect. However, the wording is wrong. it should read...ready to put your clothes on. then again, it could be correct in certain circumstances. such as if the manager was preparing her wardrobe while she was applying makeup.

The sentence "I think it's time to get ready for your clothes." is correct. she is getting ready for her costumes. or stage clothes.

grammatically, the sentence is correct, as in punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure.
but i agree with you that the Meaning of the sentence is inaccurate. i would rephrase the sentence as follows: "it's time to get ready to wear your clothes/costumes."
