All of you gentlemen have great ideas!! Thank you very much! I'm surprised no women have chimed in....but there's still time.

On our river trips we have a saying...... you don't HAVE privacy......you GIVE privacy. We always bring solar showers on river trips, and we take turns washing up while the rest of the group turns the other way. If you ask nicely, people will be respectful. If they aren't, they don't get invited on the next trip. Although this wouldn't work on a hiking trip..... I have found it easy to change in my camp chair. I have a chair with a fairly high back, so I hang a towel over the back to block the view, and do a quick change while sitting in the chair. The trick is to have your clothes ready at hand for the quick change.
I think changing under or behind your tarp should work well. The other key to the quick change is timing. I try to get up a little bit early, before everyone is up milling around, before the sun is fully up. I like the ideas that others have given of a poncho/wrap/sundress for times when privacy is difficult.
Welcome to the wonderful world of hammocks.

Hey DivaB!
Female here.
I usually add or remove layer or just wear the same clothes ha!
but if in all wet clothes - I'll go in my tarp & change.
towel around the waist helps if needed.
but usually a warning to anyone close by works
"Hey, I'm going over there to get changed"

Man, I gotta bring a poncho for the ladies.
Ambulo tua ambulo.
With the exception of the fleece tube thing I've done all of the above. The worst is changing inside a netted hammock in the heat of the summer. The poncho or the wrap method worked well as does warning the others that you are going to change clothes. However, the best solution for me thus far is my warbonnet superfly with integrated doors. But, as was already mentioned be aware of the shadow.
