Yes it's a possibility that people have heard the term "full dress" but know that a kilt is not a dress 
However I wouldn't have thought that members of the General Public in the US would be familiar with the term "full dress" (the equivalent in both the US Army and the US Marine Corps is "Dress Blues").
In like manner the term "full kit" is British. In the US "kit" is used in compound terms like "tool kit" and "sewing kit" but by itself only means a baby fox.
(The English football term "kit clash" is mysterious to Americans, who would use "uniform" rather than "kit". Besides "kit clash" is impossible in US baseball and gridiron anyway.)
