The dressing method uses the integrability of a system and allows the construction of new classical string solutions from old ones. I will explain how the dressing method works and I will then apply it in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence to two interesting and different problems, giant magnons and Wilson loops. The talk will be based on my recent work.
