Indeed, there are lots of meanings for the verb "arrumar". This website might help you: http://www.wordreference.com/pten/arrumar

 

When someone is "arrumada", it means the person made an effort to look good. Like she's neat and tidy. In this case, it's about her clothes, her hair...

There's an expression with it: "dar um arrumada". It is an informal form of "arrumar" (to organize or clean things at home, for example). It may be applied to people, sometimes. An example: "Beatriz está arrumada hoje" (not too common, i think).
