A dress that is Blue and Black, NOT white and gold. Not that it fucking matters. Maybe your eyes would perceive the dress as being white and gold if you are color blind or if your eyes are adjusting from bright to dark settings or if you mess around with its colors in an image editor just to be a dick. But the point is, people are homeless and starving and football players beat their girlfriends and ISIS beheads people, so who fucking cares about hash-tag the dress.

A traditionally feminine garment, consisting of a bodice and a skirt. Dresses range from transparent, risqué, low-cut bodices and mini-skirts up to high collars, long sleeves, and skirts that trail on the floor, sometimes accompanied by a head covering.
From Clueless:

"Mel: 'What the hell is that'?
Cher: 'A dress'.
Mel: 'Says who'?
Cher: 'Calvin Klein'."

Looks like underwear to me!

Why do women walk around half-nude and men don't do that? You don't see men wearing shorts to the office like women often wear mini-skirts to work.

Strictly female attire in Western fashion, a dress is basically a large shirt or tunic with the waist or the entire upper half of the garment half-fitted or fitted while the lower half can be loose or tight (which inhibits the ability to walk).

The lower half, or skirt, ranges in length from above the knees to the floor.

"Skirt" comes from "skyrta", an old Norse word for "shirt", so it seems appropriate to call an entire dress a skirt and not just the lower half.

Skirt is also slang for a woman, often one who is morally loose.
The skirt was once practically a gender-neutral garment before the Rennaissance; men and women wore togas and tunics and nobody said anything about it, and leggings were worn beneath for warmth. Now skirts are limited to women, unless you count the kilt, which looks absolutely stunning!
