hi!i'm italian.maybe i can help you.
Question 1)your textbook is not wrong,in italian we say "i vestiti" for clothes but "il vestito" means dress.
"i vestiti" is the plural form for "il vestito" but it is also the word that we use to say clothes in general.
Question 2)camicia and maglietta are not the same things.maglietta is the t-shirt and camicia is the shirt.
cappotto means coat.
Question 3)"gonna" is only the skirt and "tailleur" is jacket + skirt or jacket + pants and it's only for women.
Question 4)prego doesn't mean "can i help you?".it is generally used when you give something to someone else.he says "grazie"and you "prego"
question 5)to say "here you are" we say "ecco" but it's not completely wrong to say "prego"

i hope you will understand,sorry for my english if i made some mistakes...bye!

The word IL is an article and it is used before a Singular Masculine word.
And VESTITO is a Masculine term meaning CLOTH.

So IL VESTITO means THE CLOTH

Ciao!!! so... it's right... Vestito=dress or singular of i vestiti (clothes)
Camicia=shirt
cappotto=coat
maglietta=T-shirt

Tallieur is women's suite, yes... But also pant and jacket...
Tallieur is jacket with skirt or trousers... Gonna is only the skirt...
Prego means "can I hepl you?" or also in answer like "Thank you!!""You're welcome" or as you have say can mean here you are!!! ciao

If you have some problems I'll halp you!!! send me some e mail!!! Maybe you'll halp me!!!!!!

Sorry for my bad English!!!

3) Yes, it is
4) You can use PREGO after GRAZIE (Thanks)

) My textbook says " i vestiti" means "clothes" and "il vestito" means "dress". However, " il vestiti" looks like the plural form of " il vestito" ?
IS MY TEXTBOOK WRONG ? yes i vestiti is just the plural form of il vestito.

Question 2) What are the difference between " la camicia" , " il cappotto" , " la maglietta" ? Is " la camicia" the same as " la maglietta" ? cappotto;coat, camicia shirt the one with all the button , maglietta t-shirt

Question 3) Does " il tailleur" mean women's suit ? Or " pants and jacket " ? What are the diiference between "il tailleur" and "la gonna"?tailleur is an elegant dress formed by jacket and pants or jacket and skirt.is for women who makes important jobs like lawyer,doctor,business woman and so on...gonna is just the skirt.

Question 4) Does "Prego" mean " Can I help you ? " In Italy,
does saleman say "Prego? " when a customer enters
the shop ? yes sometimes our waitress used to say for mean can I help you.

Question 5) Can I say "Prego. " when I give something to someone ? Can "Prego." mean "Here you are " ? yes you can.can mean.

compliments you choosed one of the most difficult language in the world...but believe me is the best!

Hello i am italian and i try helping you with my best english
Q. 1) i vestiti means clothes if is nun
il vestito means dress if is verb.
this means vestito could be nun and verb
the infinitif of the verb is vestire
il vestiti is wrong. is i vestiti because vestiti is plural but the articol is singolare, when do you pronunce if you put the accent on ve-stiti is verb ifn you put the accent on vesti-ti is nun.... (i was clear.. i hope)
usually the vestito (nun ) is for man but there is an ecception because there is the bride vestito (the white one)
Q. 2) la camicia is the shirt,
il cappotto is coat
la maglietta is the tshirt
la camicia" the same as " la maglietta" (no one is shirt and the other is tshirt or polo ?
Q. 3) Does " il tailleur" mean women's suit? suit is for man and dress is for yes true and is a french word but used in italy
pants and jacket usually if elegant is the vestito (nun) or suit
la gonna is skirk

Question 4) Does "Prego" mean " Can I help you ? no prego means for example thanks or is often used when someone for example open for you a door or give you away and tell prego.
prego could be a verb too pregare pray In Italy,
does saleman say "Prego? " when a customer enters
the shop ? yes could be if for example he ask something he can tell prego cosa desidera.

Question 5) Can I say "Prego. " when I give something to someone .. no?
Can "Prego." mean "Here you are " ? no here you are is tu sei qui

i hope this help to you
cheers

I'm italian and i can answer you. "i vestiti" means clothes and is the plural form of il vestito. In italian there is only general form (vestiti) for describe the clothes (all kind of clothes). La camicia is not same of la magietta. La camicia is the shirt, la maglietta is the t-shirt. But la maglietta can be also a jersey. "tailleur" (that is a french word, not italian) is a dress suit composted with a skirt and a jacket. "gonna" means skirt."prego" corresponds to "you are welcome". You can say when you answer to "grazie" (it means thank you, thanks).
I hope to have been useful!!!
