doubling the verb isn't necessary, it only implies that the action was sort/quick

I would think that "件" could be used as a classifier here too, but "我會試試那件裙子。" is rejected.
I'd also think that "試一下" would be an acceptable alternative to "試試", but that answer ("我會試一下那條裙子。") is also rejected.

Yes it is. Dresses, skirts, fish, ships, bedsheets, streets, news... You have to "stretch" a little bit the usual Western concept of long, thin and narrow things. As for the news, it dates back to when Chinese people would communicate writing on scrolls

Can't I use 试一下？Also, how do you know it's a dress not a skirt? 裙子 seems to mean both...
