Dress to Impress has recently become a gaming sensation, garnering a surprisingly extensive fanbase, considering it is a Roblox game. However, it has become explicitly clear that it is not a children’s game despite being on a children’s gaming platform. While there is nothing inherently wrong with children playing the game, they ruin it with how ugly they dress. It is called Dress to Impress, not Dress Like Trash.
For those who are unaware, DTI is a fashion game on Roblox that, anytime in a 24-hour cycle, typically has over 100,000 active players. Players are given roughly five minutes to create an outfit according to that round’s specific theme. At the end of the timer, all the players on the server walk the runway individually to get rated by everyone else. After that, placements are announced, and the process starts anew. Or at least that is the way it is supposed to go, however very unfortunately, the younger players enjoy doing their best to ruin the themes of each round.
Office Siren is the first theme with amazing potential wasted on the children playing the game. Instead of their first thought being to dress as someone cool like Super Nanny or Bayonetta, they choose to be mermaids. That is not what an office siren is; do not dress like a mermaid. This mix-up would not have been that egregious even if they did a decent job making a mermaid or siren-style fit. Still, if everyone else on the runway looks great and the children come out looking like different versions of a trashy Ariel, they need to be better.
The Tudor Period is another theme that should be fun and interesting yet is ruined by some of the player base. While this theme should cover the dominant fashion choices of a specific era in history, little Suzie is on the runway with bloody pants for some reason. Clearly, someone should spend less time on DTI and more time in their third-grade social studies class.
The theme Scene also suffers from a lack of reading comprehension. Do not dress as a scene from a movie, Scene is a style. Literally, just get some emo side bangs with hot pink highlights, and you will be fine. Some fishnets on your character’s arms would go great with it, too.
Unfortunately, not just the themes suffer because of the children playing. These kids who can not even spell restaurant insist on misusing items to create lewd and inappropriate designs. This results in the removal of perfectly good items that people actually liked to use for their intended purposes.
Some people are just trying to play a silly fashion game; quit ruining things for them.
The same thing happens with the poses as well. Players would be lucky to find a server where children are not abusing Pose 28 and that one pose from the Charlie xcx update pack.
The little gremlins that fiend over the little cash spawns are just as abhorrent, too. Why is a nine-year-old calling me fat, ugly, and worthless just because I happened to pick up a dollar while I was putting on some glasses? They spawn everywhere, go fall off a super easy obby or something, while you wait for the next theme.
The developers should absolutely create 16+ servers for those of us who truly just want to enjoy the game for what it is. Understandably, it is a kid’s game, but the kids make it much less enjoyable for the rest of us.
