Actually Ron only found out about the dress robes the night before they left for Hogwarts while packing his school supplies.  He then mistakes them for one of  Ginny's dresses.  Any 14 year old boy would be horrified to find out that they had to where maroon velvet dress robes with frilly lace collar and cuffs.  Ron then does what anyone at that age would do in his situation, he argues with his mother.  The next morning the whole Mad Eye Moody ordeal was going on and I doubt that there would have been time to do anything anyways.
