Sorry, CJ, I don't really understand. Do you mean I could say " I suppose he is talking about the girl dressed in blue/ girl in blue."? Can't I add "who" after girl? or to say " be dressing in blue"?

AnonymousCan't I add "who" after girl?
You can add "who is".

[Optional elements in parentheses.]

I suppose (that) he is talking about the girl (who is) dressed in blue.

We would not usually add "who is" with the simpler "in blue":

I suppose (that) he is talking about the girl in blue.
