From your younger siblings or cousins playing it all day to the memes you see online, Roblox game Dress To Impress has taken over the public consciousness, growing into a massively popular game (relative to its niche)—and with good reason! The fashion game is a classic dress-up game, Project Runway, and America’s Next Top Model rolled into one.
The game is user-generated, created and maintained by Roblox players themselves. It’s well-made, though, with a great, simple concept executed in style. Dress To Impress (or DTI) has grown so popular that they’ve actually partnered with Charli XCX for a special BRAT X DTI collaboration this August! To play, you have to download Roblox, create an account, and play the specific Dress To Impress game. If you need some help to start, we’ve got a comprehensive guide right here.
DRESS TO IMPRESS BASICS
Basically, Dress To Impress is a fashion competition games in which players have a limited time to, simply, dress to impress. Once a round starts, a theme will be given to all the players in that server, and you have 325 seconds to roam around the Dressing Room to put on items to create an ensemble that not only fits the theme, but also slays. Themes range from “Retro” to “Dark Academia,” “Lost at Sea” to “Zombie Apocalypse.”

The Dressing Room offers plenty of tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, accessories for you to customize. You can dress up as a girl or a guy, but the girl model has way more outfit options. Besides having the colors and patterns to change it up, many items also have “toggle” options that allow you to change its look. For instance, the wide-leg denim jeans can turn into cargo pants, and the thigh-high stiletto boots can turn into ankle boots or knee-high boots.
Besides the clothing, you can change your skin color in the “tanning booths” near the bottoms, and change your hair, makeup, and nail color in the salon.
Once you’ve put together an outfit and the time runs out, the runway starts. Each player has ten seconds on the runway. Vote on other players’ outfits by tapping how many stars you want to give them and hit a few poses once it’s your turn! You’ll get ranked based on votes at the end, and you have a chance to end up on the Top 3. The higher your rank, the more stars and cash you have. Make your way up the ranks from New Model (0-49 stars) to Top Model (25,000+ stars) to prove you’re an ultimate fashionista.

You can walk using the WASD keys on your keyboard, or if you’re on a mobile device, the bottom left side of the screen has an invisible joystick you can use to maneuver your model around. You can also change the camera angle with two fingers on your trackpad or swiping on the middle-right part of your screen. When you’re near the tanning booths, makeup chair, or hair station, press E or click/tap the heart to change what you want changed. Jump (spacebar or the arrow on the bottom right of the screen) to leave.
On your screen, there are six buttons, three on each side, as well as your cash count and your star count (where you can see the progression of ranks). The in-game money or pink cash can be used to purchase clothing pieces like the summery dresses near the swimsuit, the teddy bear, or the dresses inspired by what Kim Kardashian and BLACKPINK’s Jennie wore to different Met Galas. BTW, you get to keep these items even after the round!
The buttons on the left, from top to bottom, include settings, in-game purchases, and the codes section, which we’ll get to later.
On the right, there’s an option to pay to walk faster, the “currently wearing” button (which shows you what you have on as well as give you the option to remove it), and the poses menu. Click to choose a pose and tap again to stop doing it. Click the star beside each pose to add it to your favorites. The heart on the top of the poses menu has even more poses you can purchase with pink cash.
VIP & Premium Stuff

There is, of course, a VIP package that costs Robux, which costs real money. The 799 Robux VIP package currently costs 569 PHP. If you choose to go VIP, you have access to a whole new section of the dressing room with exclusive items. You can also opt to play in VIP-only servers. But you don’t need VIP to own that runway—it’s all about the creativity and how well you put what you have together.

HOT TIPS
@hailey_dti This obby is actually very easy though #roblox #dti #dresstoimpress #dtiroblox #fyp #foryou #viral ♬ Backstage Passes – cupcakKe
- Fair warning, it can get frustrating when people you think don’t deserve to podium get the top spots—especially if they’re not even on theme! But as long as you know you ate up an outfit, those top spots won’t matter as much. Be patient, don’t be like the mean players, and try not to lose your cool on kids, especially.
- There is a typical Roblox obstacle course (or “obby”) in the lobby area which changes among a few options after every round. If you make it through the obby, you can collect a whole bunch of cash to be able to pay for cash-only clothing items and posing packs.
- Use the mermaid trick to cheat the obby and get the cash fast.
- Explore the free play server if you’d rather get a feel for things first or if you don’t want to participate in themed, timed events. If you just want to dress up, practice, or host your own themed rounds, choose to go to Freeplay Mode. You can find the server menu on the wall beside the entrance of the salon in the main dressing room, and near the exit to the beach in the lobby.
- Team up! You can play with your friends by joining them when they’re on DTI from the Roblox menu. Compete against each other or give each other five stars all the time.
- Be chronically online! Playing DTI can get so serious because it’s so fun and addicting, so make use of social media to stay updated on new updates (like the Dress To Impress x BRAT collaboration), which may include new clothes, new codes, new themes, Lana lore, and more. You can also find ensemble inspiration, combinations, tips, hacks, and more online.
