Because it is what women put on to be "dressed." Because back in the day their other clothes were rags.

Because female aristocrats used to be "dressed" by their servants. So the garment took on the name of the action.
This is also why buttons on females clothing were on the left instead of on the right side like men's clothing. By putting the button on the left side it made it easier for servants to button it.
