What does it mean to dream of a dress? Well, thanks to Zolar's Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Dreams, you can find out. (Have I mentioned lately how much I adore Google Print?)
receiving a dress: you will be helped by an unknown man
changing a dress: you will suffer because of your own foolishness
closet full of dresses: a constant love of social pleasures
designing a dress: you will receive a proposition and turn it down (I dream this ALL THE TIME, yet I cannot think of the last proposition I received)
buying a new dress: health and happiness
nice dress: efforts will succeed
tight dress: you are being unrelenting your control of others
purple dress: happy marriage and death of a friend (huh?)
a partially sewn dress: you will be disregarded by friends
a dress in a shop window: your ambition is inspired, follow it
taking off a dress: trust only your own counsel
sewing up a torn dress: you are neglecting your own children
washing a dress: be more financially frugal
wearing a daring evening gown : your selfish, presumptive personality shines (I dream this fairly often as well. At least I'm a SHINY jerk.)
someone stepping on the train of your dress: you will have a new love affair
A Dress A Day 
Well, I’ve googled unsuccessfully, so perhaps you can help: What does it mean when you dream of fabric? Specifically, shopping for fabric? I have fabric-shopping dreams fairly often, and while they can be frustrating while I dream (the hunt! the hunt!), sometimes they’re more frustrating when I wake without the unusual fabrics I found while sleeping. Like the beaded silk and lace I found for a wedding dress, which was, I think, $514.00 per yard, and I needed six yards – but the bodice was already part of yardage, so that helped.So … what do you think it means?

dunno. But I could use a few dressy dreams in my life. I just dream about losing my teeth.

If you dream about losing teeth, that’s really bad! It means someone close to you is going to die. Do you experience any pain when the teeth fall out?
