With over two billion visits, Dress to Impress by Gigi, a Roblox game, is taking the internet by storm. It exploded internationally in August to the point that streamer CaseOh got a Dress to Impress code. Gathering crowds, from the players who connect through the nostalgia of 2000s fashion games to the ultimate fashionistas, it makes sense why the game has so much positive reception. In addition, the game is very accessible; it is on the free-to-use platform.
The general premise for Dress to Impress is a timed fashion competition, where players are assigned a theme and must make an outfit within the time provided while aiming to win. The more wins, the more points are earned, which will enable players to buy in-game items, an alternative to using codes to claim items. As an online game, it is possible to compete with friends, which helped it gain success through its united enjoyment.

Dress to Impress is easy to follow; upon joining, it requires players to go around and select pieces and colors for their perfect outfits.
