This may be a bit confusing. Perhaps some examples would help.
1.
When it refers to "clothes for men of a particular type", it could be used
like this:
The gladiators wore battle dress.
Here, "dress" refers to a distinctive style of clothing for a particular
category of people, and it is, indeed, noncountable.
2.
It can also refer to clothing in general, but usually in the sense that
it is a collection of clothing, for example:
He is fussy about his dress.
It means the man is fussy about any and all of his clothes or apparel,
or "wardrobe", or about the way he dresses. It is still noncountable.
3.
When "dress" refers to an actual piece of clothing, literally, it is
a countable noun.
Ex: one dress, two dresses
//
In the case of people wearing fancy dresses for a party, it is not 1. because
it is not specific to a type of clothing, and it is not 2. because it is
not specific to a particular collection. "Dresses" literally refers to
physical, material pieces of clothing. However, dresses are for women only.
Perhaps the substitute here would just be "clothes" or "apparel".
