Do up means fasten.
An examples is:
"a shirt so tight that not all of the buttons did up" this comes in google meaning search (meaning: do up)
One of my colleagues in an English-learning-group come up with the following example:
Please do up your coat otherwise you'll get cold.
She thinks "do up" could mean "put on" as well.
Although I think "do up" doesn't mean put on, but her example could be correct as she wants to say
Wrap up yourself with your coat to protect your body from cold.
Is my interpretation correct?
