Sunday best means the dressy clothes people would wear to church on Sunday. Often the only fancy clothes people had were the ones they wore to church or to funerals. Sometimes they were called "Sunday go-to-meeting clothes."

@Trapper__ It is an expression. You have to say Sunday best. It basically just means the best clothes you have that you only wear to church. Sunday best, together.

@Trapper__ I'm not sure if it's used much today. It's a bit old-fashioned perhaps. For one thing many people don't seem to dress up very much for church anymore. It has become a very casual society here.
