"She wants to try this blue dress." Not accepted. 裙子 means both dress and skirt.
I said the same, and was told I need to say "try on" instead of try, but I don't know if that's accurate
You can repeat verbs to make the action brief or make an adjective stronger.
看看 = take a look
大大 = Very large (similar to 很大)
When talking about clothes, I've only encountered 试 meaning "to try on".

Confused about the 条 here. That's a measure word for long, flat things, dogs, and skirts /dresses? Articles of clothing in general?
It seems to be the measure word for some articles of clothing eg. 那條衣服 還是 那件衣服， you can use both.
For a pair (two) items, you can use 條(tiao)， EG。這條狗 (these two dogs) 還是(or) 這雙鞋 (this pair of shoes).
Similarly to English there are a few ways to say the same thing
试试 means to try (something). 让我试试 Let me try. It does not specifically mean try on but can be used in this context.
Let someone do something, make someone do something, have someone do something. 让 can mean all of these things.
I think it is more "allow" than "make." "Make" somebody do something sounds like you force them to do it. In the example given by Clay156084, it means: "Allow me to try."
他想试试这条蓝裙子 Got it as a hearing excercise. Of course, it should be "her" but technically correct.
Why 'She wants to try this blus skirt on' isn't correct?? We can say 'try this on'
I asked my native speaking girlfriend about this question and she said the words for dress and skirt are not the same, but Duolingo uses the same word for some reason. 裙子 actually refers to the whole category of that style of clothing, not just a dress or a skirt.

What a shame that your "tips" suggest that the repetition of the "try" would add a "just" to the sentence. Not the first time your "tips" are misleading. Honestly, are you trying to help, or hinder?
