They were wearing dresses because pretty dresses look nice in movies. Personally I think dress robes in different styles would have been more interesting, but whatever.

yeah, sadly, this. in book-only context they would have been "fancy" robes and everyone would have been wearing all robes only robes at all times. there was some suggestion that the kids when out of school wore muggle clothes, but their parents, hooboy, always in robes.

the movies ruined that entire concept. the only robes you see are school robes - during classes - and some of the super old wizards always wearing them or only wearing them inside a magical place like Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, etc. Never in their own homes. So the Yule Ball should have been a chance for the costume designer to go above and beyond and design fancy robes for both men and women but instead we got girls in prom dresses and boys in tuxedo-robes. except poor Ron.

so if you're confused, OP, that's why. if someone can write an HP fic and lovingly describe a women's dress robe, I would kudos them to hell and back for it.

Not in the book they weren't. Hence the confusion.
