치마입고 가려고 하세요? = 치마입고 가려고요?
(Do you want to go out in the skirt?)
"~고요" is a short form of "~하려고 하세요?".
do you want to do(~something)?
Usually we say like this under an unusual situation.
It sounds like that it not normal thing.
치마입고 가려고요?
it means, I don't think it's good idea that you go our in wearing a skirt.
(for example, you go out running now and I think it's so weird that you wear a skirt)

In this case, I think you should know what is "려고요."
가다(go)+ 려고요(would like to)=>가려고요
자다(sleep)+ 려고요(would like to)=>자려고요
By the way, 려고요 ≒려고 해요, and the colloquial[slang] expression of 려고요 is 려구요.
