Here is more context:
A separare le porte di Jaroslav, cesso e bagno da quelle della camera da letto, della sala e della cucina, ci pensa uno stretto corridoio che parte dalla porta del salotto e arriva fino all’ingresso, dove tra le scarpe, le ciabatte per gli ospiti e i cappotti non è raro trovare un gatto che segue le procedure di vestizione prima del saluto.

the process of getting ready to say goodbye
"Vestizione" means "putting on clothes," which sounds a lot like "getting dressed". Both phrases make it sound like someone is putting on their clothes for the day, which would normally not take place by the front door, I would imagine. I think these are clothes for going out. Since we don't know the climate or the temperature outside, I think it's best not to mention the clothes specifically, unless you know what sort of clothes are needed.
I think this conveys the right idea.
Perhaps you could incorporate "outer clothes," but it might sound a bit too high-minded or just plain wordy.

stages of getting dressed before the morning greeting
Again a suggestion but I can't see the whole text so it's a bit difficult out of context.

: There's no mention of any morning greetings being made here, but just a cat observing guests as they put on their shoes/coats before they leave the apartmnent.
