The first thing that you need to make sure is that the dress is not made of any heavy cloth. A lot of people prefer wearing bathing clothes, because you won’t mind getting them wet. You might get in real trouble, if the clothes are too heavy.
You will take plenty of time to ride back to your launch point after floating down the river, not to mention the extra exertion which you will face. It is also not a good idea to stay wet right through this period. -

Wear plenty of waterproof sunscreen. Keep a large bottle of the sunscreen in your bag. It is essential, because you will have to face direct sunlight for hours and burns could also take place due to reflection of sun from water. Make sure the sunscreen you are using has a high SPF rating.
