2) I think she wore it because Lee told her she needed to wash her jacket, (which, btw, I thought was AWESOME.) thereby implying that he sees her as significantly less than feminine. So she set out to prove to him that she could out-hot the Joneses.
Yup! I love that "you have hygiene?" comment - I think that's probably when Kara decided she needed that dress (and she does look beautiful in it). I also agree that once Lee reacts to her the way she wants him too, she gets all weirded out by the whole thing and pushes him away again (even if she doesn't consciously know she's doing it). And really, if she'd never said his name with Baltar, I doubt Baltar would have been so open about his jealousy, and then Lee wouldn't have known ...
That scene in the hangar bay breaks my heart for her; and I'm cheering her on when she punches Lee, by the way. Aaargh!
