Is there any way in Photoshop to switch the color of dark clothing into white?

For example, I have the below image and I want to change the gown to white.

    \$\begingroup\$ And black and white certainly are colors in this sense of the word color. \$\endgroup\$

Use a curves adjustment masked to the dress. Then pull up the blacks and shadows. Fine tune for color shifts. This is a two second job but done properly you'd have to do some edge refining and fine tuning:
