Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Let me change my dress first.
Say: Let me get changed first.
'Get changed' / 'change your clothes'; 'dress' is one specific garment.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Attire myself in different garments' is absurd; natives say 'get changed'.
