ellipsis of 'who are/were'

'The samba school had thousands of people, all dressed in the most fantastic costumes.' Here, can 'all dressed' be changed into ',who were all dressed ' or just ' all (being) dressed'? The former means that the expression is a shortened form of relative clause, but the latter means the it is participial stucture. I'd be grateful if I could hear good opinion of yours.

Thank you for your answer, but as a teacher, I have to explain which structure is correct.
So, please tell me which explanation you think is correct: ',(who were) all dressed~' or 'all (being) dressed ~'
Sorry to bother you...^^
