All of us at one point in our lives have posed in an outfit we feel good in or given our families a fashion show of what we bought at the mall. Dress to Impress is a very popular fashion modeling game on Roblox (an app that contains all sorts of games by different creators) that has given everyone the opportunity to strut their stuff on the runway, virtually at least.
The basics of the game is creating an outfit based on a given theme with a time limit, then showing off your outfit, while also posing on the runway, to compete for first, second and third place. The game is popular among kids, teens and even adults.
“It’s a way to express yourself and your own personal styles and really think out of the box,” says Kenzington Cuzor, a sophomore in COMPASS and a member of the Fashion program at Millikan. “It has become very popular and it’s just a big thing in our society right now.”
Dress to Impress allows you to choose and customize everything from your hair and makeup to your nails and accessories. You can even compete as duos, dressing up and matching with your friends. Features such as VIP Pass cost Robux (which are worth real currency) and give you access to the exclusive VIP section and wardrobe, which has more options to elevate your outfits. This is part of the reason why the game is so successful. Everyone’s a top model in Dress to Impress.
Many Dress to Impress trends based off of the game have blown up on social media. For example, we, The Millikan Corydon, have made TikToks introducing our Page and Executive members of our editorial team based on Dress to Impress.
The game recently had a new update showcasing the recent phenomenon, “brat”, the artist Charli XCX’s new trending album. (To find out more about Charli XCX, read Ian’s article here). The update included brat-themed clothes, patterns and even the viral TikTok dance from Charli’s song “Apple” as a runway pose.

On October 24, 2024, Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley wrote the article titled “Dress to Impress Roblox Rave”. The article gives a well explained summary of the new trend of Dress to Impress, however, the writers leave out a certain detail that explain the real reason for the great popularity of the game. The reason being the new era of roblox dress-up games. Dress-up games have been popularized on Roblox for years, however, in the past years their popularity began to decline. When Dress to Impress appeared it gave robloxians a reintroduction to dress-up games.
Even so, the editors did remember to include details of the games such as gamepasses and accessories you can buy/use to enhance your outfit’s creativity. This detail was a great addition because it illustrates the abundance of creativity you can show off in the game and how Dress to Impress got so popular in a matter of days! Overall this article was great, and even persuaded me to play Dress to Impress later today.
Sincerely,

This article brings a spotlight to one of the latest well-liked games, specifically on Roblox, where players can express their creativity through fashion while fitting in line with the given theme. I enjoyed reading about this topic because I have played this game before and I am delighted to see it receiving appreciation. Additionally, I agree with how the game pushes people to think outside the box to bring new and unique ideas to the table. It shows how the game can help people develop their own styles through clever mix-matching of clothing and accessories in a limited amount of time.
Castillo and Varley point out different features and functions of Dress to Impress, making it very informative especially for those who do not have much knowledge about the game. Furthermore, through positive comments and viral trends, they demonstrated how the game can be enjoyable for people of all ages and interests. This article shows how Dress to Impress can be an exciting game as it continually receives thrilling updates, and provides an enjoyable environment for people to relax, compete, and have fun.

This article brings back memories of me and my sister playing this on our ipads when we were little, even now we’ll still play this game every once in a while. This game allows players to show their creativity while providing the player with a theme and the player gets to dress their character up however they see fit (they don’t have to dress up as the theme.) This game is played by all different ages of people. My sister started playing this when she was 2 ½ and is still playing it now (she’s 4,) whenever she plays, she always asks me to play with her.
I enjoyed reading this article because it breaks down the objective of the game while also including an outside opinion. I also liked how Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley started off by mentioning that “All of us at one point in our lives have posed in an outfit we feel good in or given our families a fashion show of what we bought at the mall.” This statement made me delighted because I remember doing that as a child.
One thing that I would like to see would be multiple perspectives possibly from a mixture of boys and girls. This is because the audience would be getting different points of view of the game from different types of people. Having multiple opinions from different people can influence whether or not the reader would enjoy playing this game.
Anneliese Poirier • Oct 30, 2024 at 1:43 pm
Both reporters begin with a broad story of childhood that many can relate to and a brief description of why Dress to Impress has been so popular. I really enjoyed reading about the game and can personally relate to the common love for playing the game.
I think it is so important that games are open to a wide variety of ages, which Kayla and Rose explain could be kids, teens, and even adults. When I first heard about Dress to Impress, it was on a call with some of my friends, and we immediately played for hours.
In my opinion, the popularity for Dress to Impress is well deserved, and I completely agree with Kenzington Cuzor that it has become a way to express yourself and think outside the box. It is always fun when you play duos with a friend, coordinate your outfits and poses, and hopefully win too. I believe that the game is such a good way to participate in creative activities with your friends, even if it may be virtual. I hope that more people will find Dress to Impress to be a fun and exciting way to explore their creativity. Thank you for sharing this game with Corydon.

Dear Corydon Editor,
On October 24, 2024, Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley wrote an article titled “Dress To Impress Roblox Rave”. I believe this article did an excellent job on what Dress to Impress is about. As it is a fashion game with a scoring system to see who does a better job on a certain theme the game chooses, it gained massive popularity within the roblox community and appealed to many.
Both authors did a wonderful job summarizing the main premise and the reasons why the game is so popular in the first place and the effect it had on the roblox community and even social media as well as they stated. Dress to Impress has honestly gotten to a point where its one of the most popular games on roblox as a whole. The authors even give out news that a new update is arriving which is very nice for a closing piece.
It would be cool if more roblox games were covered so more people would find out about cool games that might appeal to them, either way this article still did a nice job nonetheless.

I read the article Dress to Impress Roblox Rave by Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley and it was published on October 24, 2024. This piece captures the essence of dress to impress and its impact on various age groups. The writer did an amazing job highlighting the game’s creative appeal and how it enables players to express their individuality and fashion sense in a fun interactive way through the Roblox platform. Kenzington Cuzor’s quote, “It’s a way to express yourself and your styles and think out of the box,” reinforces this, adding a student perspective that makes the game relatable.
The article’s mention of Dress to Impress integrating Charli XCX’s “brat” album update is intriguing, especially with references to trending social media challenges. It would be great to see future articles that dive into music and social media’s impact on video games. Overall, the article was engaging and provided an enjoyable glimpse into the vibrant world of virtual fashion.
Thank you for this perspective on how games like Dress to Impress are shaping digital self-expression

On October 24, 2024, Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley wrote the article titled “Dress To Impress Roblox Rave”. Both of the authors gave a dedicated explanation on how the game operates and what the overall goal is, which is to gain the votes of other players to win and be a top model for a fashion game. Castillo and Varley emphasize the growth in popularity of this one of many games that Roblox has to offer. They do a brilliant job on letting the reader understand the overall steps it takes to play this game. Castillo and Varley mention the options that players have, from being able to design their outfits and makeup to shoes and even nails. This has reached many different audiences going from young to old. Dress to Impress has reached the phones of many, as it became a trend where many influencers started playing this game catching the attention of their viewers. This game even caught the attention of Millikan’s Corydon Tik Tok where they introduced their page and executive members of their editorial team using a dress to impress reference.
I enjoyed the nostalgic reference made at the beginning of the article when Castillo and Varley bring up the fact that what many of us did as children, which was dress up and do fashion shows in front of family, is now turned into a game. Overall this article is quite entertaining and enjoyable to read. Castillo and Varley truly brought the Dress to Impress community together when creating this article.
Emma Hirchert • Oct 29, 2024 at 3:14 pm
I am very glad that The Millikan Corydon was able to address this gaming trend and elaborate on its popularity. As a kid, I loved spending my time playing roblox games with friends. However, now that I am a junior, I don’t have the time to play these games anymore, so I am thankful that Castillo and Varley were able to publish this article and catch me up on this current Roblox trend.
I’ve only ever played Dress to Impress once, but after reading this article, I further understand how the game is played. Castillo and Varley successfully explain the components to the game and how there’s a time limit to dress your virtual character. But, they also state that you can compete for first, second, and third place. How does the scoring work? Additionally, do you gain anything when you are on the podium? Another component that they explained was that you can compete with your friends as duos. How would this work scoring-wise? It would help me if these questions were answered in the article.
Another thing I am questioning is the fact that this game is popular among adults as well as children. I know that Roblox is mainly catered towards younger kids, but it would be great to know why adults enjoy this game specifically as well.
Overall, I was very impressed with Varley and Castillo’s explanation of this Roblox game. I now understand why so many people love and enjoy playing this addicting game!

Dear Corydon Editor,
On October 24, 2024, Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley wrote an article titled “Dress to Impress Roblox Rave”. This game is based on fashion and imagination where players are able to mix and match clothing, shoes, accessories, and much more in order to create the best outfit. I really enjoyed reading this article because I have spent time on this game myself and appreciate the recognition this game deserves. I agree that Dress to Impress makes players think outside the box and unlock their creative side. Furthermore, I like how Castillo and Varley included new updates such as Charli XCX’s new album, “brat” and the runway pose “Apple”. The authors also capture how the game is expressive and customizable. However, they didn’t share how a lot of influencers and youtubers have played this game which helped made Dress to Impress become so popular. I think that mentioning these popular influencers could help illustrate how well liked this game actually is and even promote the game to Millikan students.
Another highlight I would like to mention is that Castillo and Varley did a fabulous job in including a member of the Fashion program at Millikan. I think that this students quote added a nice touch to the article and showcases how Dress to Impress is even popularized among fashion students. Lastly, I am glad that these impressive authors are able to address new and fun games that many people enjoy.

In this article, Castillo and Varley talk about the rising popular game called “Dress to Impress” on Roblox. This game allows for you to explore the fashion world virtually and connect with others through clothing. Players are given a category and then given a time limit for them to create an outfit best for that category. Castillo and Varley express how the concept of this game allows for creativity to flow when creating an outfit to fit a certain theme to go down the runway.
Getting an opinion from a peer, a former COMPASS student Kenzington Cuzor, created good insight on how teenagers view this game. This game allows for players to express their creativity skills in a fun virtual game, where they can connect to other players or play with friends. This can improve their creativity skills and allow them to branch out with different clothing patterns and fashion styles.

The article begins by giving us a very relatable example of something many if not everyone has done. They then connect the example to the game Dress to Impress on Roblox. In this article the authors give clear detail on the background of the game dress to impress. This is done well enough to help the reader understand the context of this article. The authors give good information about what you do in the game. They then go on to describe what kind of people most often play this game.
The authors then use evidence from fellow millikan teen Kenzington Cuzor who makes a statement on the game, saying it helps people express themselves. After further explaining the inter workings of the game, the authors go into clear detail on how Dress to Impress has effected the society and how people interact with it. Then then close the article by saying we too can play the game and express ourselves through fashion.

This is a well written article that allows the audience to further understand the hype behind the Roblox Game, Dress to Impress. Castillo and Varlet give a detailed description on the basis of the game, as players are able to express themselves through dressing up and competing, like a fashion show. The author’s also give an example of how the game has mingled with other modern trends, such as the popular album “brat”, by Charli XCX. This led two massive communities, Charli XCX fans and Dress To Impress fans to intermingle and led to a massive boom in Dress To Impress.
Castillo and Varlet write an effective article on how and why Dress to Impress came to fame. Both authors make a great effort at fully explaining how the game works, which gives the audience a better insight at what players do in Dress to Impress. One thing I would add to further this article is statistical data that proves the game is successful. Adding statistics such as player count, Robux (Roblox Currency) spent on the game, or views from popular videos would better argue that Dress to Impress is the “Rave” the authors claim it to be.

Dear Corydon Editor,
On October 24, 2023, Kayla Castillo and Rose Varley wrote an article titled “Dress To Impress Roblox Rave”. I was fascinated by this piece that both editors wrote about the new and improved roblox game, Dress to Impress. This game that Roblox has released is an entertaining and creative way for Millikan students to utilize their skills in fashion, art, and so much more. When Dress to Impress came out on November 11, 2023, students took an interest in this game and have had an enjoyable time playing it alone and with others. This game not only can relieve stress, but it can also enhance one’s creativity and skills. However, I feel like the authors could have gone more in depth about what students can get out of playing this game. I know that the game offers many different resources such as the VIP access that students can utilize. However, another source could be that students can collaborate with others during the fashion show runway to complete their look with an extra tradition.
The use of another peers opinion on this topic, specifically from a former COMPASS student Kenzington Cuzor, was a great addition to this text because it gives students another perspective and opinion on why this game is so popular and why it is a good idea for students to use on their free time because of the trends being made by several content creators and video gamers all over social media. Along with this, I enjoyed that the article includes different details on how the app is mainly used and how it builds inventive creations to students’ likings. Students can now understand that this game, dress to impress, can be appealing and bring in others who have a passion for fashion to enjoy playing with others, especially with those who enjoy the same hobby as them. Not only can you learn from this game but you can also show your artistry to the world and those around you.
Overall, this is a great article and I am glad that the resources within the game can be beneficial for students and their overall creativity. As a high school student who has a passion for art and talent, this kind of information is a great resource for what our population needs. Thank you for bringing attention to this new and exciting game that students should take advantage of in their spare time.

I found this article as great intel into one of the most sought-after games within the Roblox community. Kayla captures recognition of the gaining acclaim, as well as the preceding updates being made to improve this feature for players worldwide. The performance of this game has unfurled into the Millikan community, bringing a sense of comradery to those sharing similar interests.
Students alike added that “it’s a way to think outside of the box,” regarding this engagement. Since this game surrounds the concept of fashion, I do agree that this is a great output for those looking to express themselves in individuality through the countless fluctuating themes. I believe the numerous different styles people have rub off into the game, manifesting so many looks to share jointly.
Furthermore, this game seems to be on par with some of the most recent trending events. Such as introducing “Apple” by Carli XCX and her album called “Brat.” It is my conviction that this immersive experience, can in sooth, challenge people to make every effort to make it onto the podium. It’s an ever-expanding community that draws in more people while creating connections at the same time.

Castillo and Varley brought me back to when I was nine years old playing Dress to Impress on my tablet in my living room. Even though life was simpler then, the game gave me an escape from reality. Even in middle school, when I was feeling anxious about everything that was going on around me, I would always go back to the game. Castillo and Varley did an amazing job of helping me go back to that memory when I was reading this article and all the fun I had playing Dress to Impress with my siblings.
In addition, Castillo and Varley mention a quote from Kenzington Cozor, a sophomore at Compass and a member of the Fashion program at Millikan, “It’s a way to express yourself and your styles and really think out of the box.” They emphasize the high level of effort and creativity that goes into the game of making your outfit. And of course, since it’s a competition, everyone has to put in their best effort to win the top model giving the game a little twist.
I was pleased that this article has promoted the pleasurable atmosphere that this game has provided for our generation. Not only does it promote the game itself, but it also brings to light the community of fellow students at Millikan who enjoy playing Dress to Impress. This can inspire other students to play Dress to Impress with their friends whenever they are overwhelmed with school work or tests or just for fun.
