I have had what I am about to say confirmed, over time, by many on this website, so this may help clear the fog!
In UK terms, "dress" means formal in the terms we are talking about above.
As I understand it, in the USA and Canada it appears that "dress" means something rather less formal. For example, a smart shirt used for a funeral or business wear with a suit is often described here by you chaps as a "dress" shirt.
For us over here in the UK, a "dress" shirt is a formal shirt to be worn with formal attire.
