Dress to Impress, a activity, has a idea that’s almost to great.
People have five minutes to move about and dress up a figure according to a topic. Everyone in the entrance has a fashion show at the end of that day, and people vote on their preferred outfit. I’ve only run into one issue: No one likes the clothes I make.
I saw the sport as an opportunity to create extraordinary clothes that would stand out. You know, those clothes that you think are actually really amazing, but you’d be very scared to actually use? That’s what I wanted to make in Dress to Impress.
For a Greek Mythology style, I paired an umbrella-like trousers with a feathered ring to give the costume an intense, about X-shaped silhouette and generate the princess Aphrodite. For a “school vacation” style, I tried to design a traditional look with a black-and-white gingham skirt, thick sneakers, and a split shirt.
But I always won.

In some rounds (or), I believe people trolled and voted for intentionally bad outfits. The only female character once, while wearing goods shorts and a dark shirt, managed to escape the “going to sleep” concept. But it wasn’t just trolls. My vision and the preferences of everyone else simply didn’t align. Round after around, I tried but failed. And while I could portray the other participants as younger people with “basic” tastes characterized by the Instagram engine and store clothes containers, my stress points to the most interesting aspect of the game.
Dress to Impress stocks its sleek, contemporary shelf with garments from various fashion ancestors, including American trendy, Lolita, and Harajuku, as well as traditional hippie and fashionable looks. In a world of unified algorithm-moderated styles and quick fashion, Dress to Impress offers young people a place to experiment with new looks. It welcomes both young people who believe large sweaters are in the future and young people who are digitally savvy enough to create the future.
Fashion is incredibly individual and varied, both digital and real. It’s more about having something to say with what you wear than it is about being on-trend. What I tend to lean toward might not be what people prefer. Dress to Impress is a bizarre place where thousands of people, representing a variety of tastes, sing out in real time every time.
But while I’m devastated that no one cared about my appearance, I’m glad to find a design that works for me.
