Answer

"Which dress do you like" is a question format (OK, I guess that has already been explained).

"Which dress you like" is a statement. An English speaker would never hear this as a question - in fact, we would listen for the rest of the sentence. Is something missing?

"Which dress you like is up to you."
"Tell me which dress you like."
"I don't care which dress you like."

Answer

That is a very good question but it requires a lengthy answer.  You might look at this website:

If I come up with any ideas I'll let you know.
