"Clothe" sounds more like you're talking about clothes as a necessity.
"They barely have money to clothe their child."
"I work so I can feed and clothe my child."
"Dress" is how we normally refer to just wearing clothes.
"It's hot so I'm going to dress my child in shorts."
"It takes me so long to dress my child in the morning."
