What is the purpose of Hamlet's appearance and behavior when he confronts Ophelia while she is sewing?
Since he has seen the ghost, he has "put an antic disposition on", which is to say that he is acting crazy. Part of acting crazy is failing to dress oneself properly.
But why does he visit Ophelia in her private room in the first place? One suggestion is that he is seriously considering her as a potential ally in his revenge plans. That is why he "falls to such perusal of [her] face as he would draw it." He is looking hard at Ophelia, but what he sees persuades him that she cannot be trusted with his confidence. She is too weak, too easily dominated, and too simpleminded.
