Dress to Impress hard to win, but it’s actually peak digital fashion

BBG News

As a dedicated player of “Dress to Impress” in Roblox, I’ve found myself both elated and disheartened by this unique and captivating fashion game. The concept is brilliant – five minutes to create an outfit for a given theme and then showcase it to the community for a live vote. Excitedly, I approached each round as an opportunity to express my creativity and flair for the dramatic with outfits that were bold and unconventional.

Dress to Impress, a Roblox game, has a premise that’s almost too perfect.

As a seasoned participant in numerous costume contests, I’ve seen my fair share of creative and impressive outfits. Yet, here I am, feeling crestfallen and disheartened as once again, the crowd fails to appreciate the effort and thought I put into my costumes. Five minutes may seem like a mere blink in the grand scheme of things, but for me, it represents an opportunity to showcase my unique vision and flair for fashion.

In the game “Dress to Impress,” I saw a chance to design bold and eye-catching outfits that might be too daring for some to wear in real life.

When dressing up for a Greek Mythology-themed game, I combined an umbrella-like skirt with a feathery halo to create an extravagant X-shaped silhouette and channel the divine beauty of Aphrodite. For a more casual “school trip” theme, I put together a classic look featuring a black-and-white gingham skirt, comfy chunky sneakers, and multiple layered shirts.

But I never won.

In some rounds, it seemed that individuals deliberately chose poor outfits or even didn’t vote at all, which I believe was an attempt to troll the competition. However, not everyone was a troll; our fashion perspectives simply didn’t align. Time and time again, I attempted to select appealing ensembles but failed. Though it was tempting to dismiss the other players as young people influenced by Instagram trends and mall fashion, my growing annoyance instead highlighted an intriguing aspect of the game.

At Dress to Impress, we arrange an assortment of trendy clothing from various fashion genres on our contemporary shelves. These styles include American streetwear, Lolita, Harajuku, classic boho, and preppy looks. In today’s homogenized world of trend-setting algorithms and rapidly changing fast fashion, Dress to Impress offers a unique space for young individuals to experiment with new fashion trends. Here, we welcome everyone – from those who believe oversized sweaters are the epitome of style to digitally savvy designers capable of creating the next must-have outfit for a Bratz Monster High doll.

Fashion, whether virtual or real, is a deeply individual and varied expression. It’s less about following trends and more about making a statement through your clothing choices. My preferences might not align with others’. Dress to Impress is an exciting platform where unique tastes come together in real-time daily, showcasing the vast array of styles with countless participants.

Despite being sad that I felt unappreciated for my appearance, I’m happy in discovering a look that suits me well.
