Expression to use when you are not dressed or otherwise ready to meet someone

What is the English expression to ask someone if he/she is dressed and "presentable", in the sense that he/she is tidy enough to meet someone else? The word "dressed" does not convince me, because its meaning covers only clothes, and one might think of being not "presentable", for example, if hair are not combed.



Example: imagine someone knocking at the door of your bedroom and asking "X is here to meet you, are you [dressed]?".



Example, from the opposite side: someone knocks at the door of your bedroom and asks "May I come in?", and you answer "No, I'm not [dressed]".
