Dress to Impress: A Phenomenon or a Flawed Gem?
The runaway success of Dress to Impress, a fashion-focused runway game, is undeniable. Players create outfits based on themed prompts and showcase their creations on a virtual catwalk. Its recent collaboration with Charli XCX further amplified its popularity.
The game’s appeal stems from its creative freedom and extensive outfit options. However, the hype isn't universally shared. Some players believe other games, like Catalog Avatar Creator, were equally deserving of recognition.
Criticisms of Dress to Impress include its potentially niche appeal. Its focus on fashion might exclude players seeking more diverse male clothing options.
