It depends on the dress pattern. Usually, the pattern includes an estimate of the amount of fabric needed for the size you're making on the back. It also depends on how much of the dress needs to be cut on a fold, how wide the fabric is, how the pieces need to be cut relative to the selvage... there's a lot of factors at play. Now, for the most part, I rarely see complicated/long dresses that go beyond 5 yards of the main fabric, and many simple ones usually around 3. So a rough estimate might be to say you can make 2-3 dresses from 10 yards.
It depends on the width of the fabric. Also, if the fabric is patterned and you want to (or need to) match the patterns, the repeat length.

If you are going to another country to buy fabric and the purpose is to get enough for a dress, there are diferent amounts you may need to buy, depending on the kind of dress. For a dress, you may need to measure the length of the dress you want. Measure from the person's shoulders to the bottom of the dress, double it, and add several yards, depending on the syle of dress, the size of the person who will be wearing it, and the width of the fabric. The amount you need also depends on if the fabric has a nap, border, or a one-way print. You could need as little as 3 years to as much as 10 yards. There are many variables.

Go to the link I have provided. Click on the type of pants you want, and scroll down to the yardages shown. There is a column heading at the top for size, follow that column to the width of the material (45" or 60") and you will see what the basic fabric amount is.
To convert feet to yards, divide by 3. Therefore, you would need 4 yards of fabric (12 feet divided by 3 feet per yard).
