elle s'enfile
Total absence of context doesn't help, but from the tiny phase given, I assume we are talking about a dress that can be simply pulled on — I assume no buttons, ties, or zips, for example.
More context (like the complete description) would be a huge help here!

Apologies for the typo: "...tiny phrase given..."!
You might feel that « elle s'enfile simplement » might better render what is perhaps the intention of the original.

I did wonder about « elle se laisse enfiler » — but that would clearly be even worse ;-)

: "elle s'enfile" (la robe, évidemment, dans le contexte). C'est parfait. "http://www.vestiairecollective.com/?page=536&id..." Bonjour Claire, la robe s'enfile par la tête"

: dans tous les cas, par la tête ou par les pieds, une robe s'enfile. Donc ok pour rajouter "simplement" pour mettre l'accent sur le fait qu'il n'y a pas de boutons, fermeture éclair ou autre type de fermeture compliqué...

: 'pull' is not used in EN as an abbreviation of 'pullover' in the way it is in FR.

But sadly, it's only a hint, not conclusive; I'd say there's about a 60% chance it DOES imply stretch, but not more than that.
