Plaid Fashion Dress To Impress: 2 Outfit Ideas (Brown Tartan Skirt and Corset, Pastel Plaid Sarong Set)

Plaid fashion DTI rounds come with the hint, “Get creative with the plaid pattern!”, and it points to the key idea. Plaid is a design made from stripes crossing in multiple colors. In the Roblox fashion game Dress To Impress, it isn’t a standalone clothing item: find it under Patterns in the color panel and apply it to any part that can be recolored. Every piece below is free; other themes are in the Dress To Impress themes guide.

Quick answer: Put the brown tartan tile on the corset puff dress skirt with a black corset and chunky black boots. You can also put the pastel plaid tile on the top-shelf sarong with a white top and white sneakers.

How to apply plaid in Dress To Impress

Click a piece in the Dressing Room so it starts previewing. The color panel opens beside it.

Use the arrows to step to the part you want to change. The panel labels each one, such as “1/3: Preview” or “1/1: Sarong”.

Open the Patterns tab and scroll down. The plaid tiles sit further down the list, below the first patterns.

Patterns tab at the top of the list in Dress To Impress — The Patterns tab opens at the top of the list; the plaid tiles are further down.

Select the plaid tile while the clothing piece remains in preview. A small star will mark your choice; it doesn’t lock the tile, and the pattern still applies as usual.

Press Put On, the heart-and-tick button to the left of the panel. The piece now shows on your avatar with the print.

These are the plaid tiles on the Patterns tab:

A brown and beige tartan
A pastel pink, green, and yellow plaid
A pink plaid with a kitten print
A red, blue, and green tartan-style tile
A black and white houndstooth

Pastel plaid and kitten plaid tiles on the Patterns tab in Dress To Impress — Further down: the pink kitten plaid and the pastel plaid side by side, the houndstooth below.

Choosing a Palette shade later for that same part will overwrite its pattern, so use solid colors only on different parts.

Palette shades below are identified by their positions in the Default palette, counting columns from the left and rows downward from the top. The eighth row goes from white through to black, with black on the final heart. To recolor something you already have on, open Wearing with the hanger button on the right and select the piece’s image.

Where to find hair, faces, clothes, and the runway

Since Dress To Impress doesn’t name its items, each piece below is identified by its location and appearance. The Teleport pin is in the screen’s upper-left corner.

What	Where	How to open it
Hair	Lana’s Salon, left arch	Hair chairs under the hood dryers, press E
Faces	Lana’s Salon, right arch	Vanity seats, press E
Clothes and shoes	Dressing Room	Teleport pin, then “Dressing Room”
Skin	Skin Tones booth	Skin tab
Runway	Freeplay Runway	Teleport pin, then “Freeplay Runway”

The Hairstyles panel offers Feminine and Masculine; Bangs with Curly; Straight alongside Wavy; Updo and Locs; then Braids and Afro. Both looks share the same skin shade: the very pale swatch in position two of the Skin tab’s first row.

Plaid Fashion outfit 1: Brown tartan skirt and black corset

Start this look with the white corset puff dress found on the lower party-dress shelf. The skirt and corset are distinct pieces, and you color them separately.

Sit in a hair chair and remove your current hairstyle with the X on its card. If you skip this, a new style goes on top of the old one.

Open the Braids tab and pick the right card in the second row. These are long red braids with straight bangs and a big white bow. Keep the default colors and press Put On.

At a vanity, open the Feminine tab and pick the middle card in the third row. It is a soft natural face with dark lashes, pink blush, and pink lips.

Click the skirt of the corset puff dress so the panel reads “1/3: Preview”. On part 1, choose the brown and beige tartan tile from the Patterns tab to get a brown plaid mini skirt.

Plaid Fashion outfit 2: Pastel plaid sarong set

For the second look, use the party-dress unit’s upper-shelf two-piece, a separate item from the first look. It consists of a strapped crop top and a wrap sarong skirt. Keep the braids and face from look one, but change the colors.

In the Wearing panel, take off the skirt, corset, and boots from the first look. Use the heart X under each picture.

Click the braids’ picture in the Wearing panel to recolor them. Set “1/3” and “2/3” to Palette column 3, row 1, which is honey blonde.

Step to “3/3: Bow” and choose Palette column 2, row 3, a pastel pink. The result is honey blonde braids with a pink bow.
