And in Britain/Europe, I think. I recall novels with a proper tailor inquiring of Our Hero (who's only recently come into his own) "How do you dress, Sir?"
In the US we don't use tailors any more, as a rule.

Now that you mention it, I've read that sentence too, and had
no idea what it meant. I think I remember my father trying to
explain it when we went clothes shopping, but I was too busy
to pay much attention to him. Dang.

ah, but 'dress right' or 'dress left' can also mean to look that direction and 'form up' on that person so that your line is straight and you are a measured distance from the other person. I think it is actually, 'dress, right, dress' if I remember from my daughter's marching band days.

Indeed; that was the source of the title of my post, and also another instance of the original thread title "double entendre" !
