Best Answer

The difference is in register.

"The children went upstairs to dress."

"The children went upstairs to get dressed."

The first sentence is very formal, vaguely archaic, and a bit elevated. The second sentence is more general and everyday in sound. Both are perfectly correct grammatically, but they are different in register.
