"Buy a women's white dress" - You are saying that you want someone to buy a white dress from a woman.
"Buy a white dress" - It is implied that a dress is for women so sometimes you don't need to specify.
But you can also say: " Buy a white dress for women"
"Buy a kid's black shoes" - With this word order you are saying that you want someone to buy black shoes that belongs to a kid.
You can say: "Buy black shoes for kids"
In your sentences an apostrophe (') was used to indicate possesion and the word order was wrong so that was why it changed the meaning of the sentences.
