Whimsigoth Dress To Impress: 2 Outfit Ideas (Purple and Black Ball Dress, Purple Lace Tiered Gown)

Whimsigoth is a dark, whimsical, 90s witchy style built on deep purples, plum and black, long flowing skirts, lace, velvet-looking fabric and long loose hair. For whimsigoth dti rounds in Dress To Impress, the Roblox fashion game, you can build two strong looks entirely from free pieces. One is a recolored ball dress. The other is a lace tiered gown. Both use the same skin and face, so you only set those once. More themes are in the Dress To Impress themes guide.

Quick answer: Recolor the pale pink ball dress deep purple with a black ruffle hem and add black bow platform boots, or recolor the tiered gown purple, add the lace pattern, and pair a purple and black bandeau.

Where Dress To Impress keeps hair, faces, clothes and the runway

The game doesn’t show item names, so every piece below is described by its spot in the room, its look and its color. These are the places you’ll visit.

Faces: Lana’s Salon, right arch. Sit at a vanity seat, press E, and open the Feminine tab.
Hair: Lana’s Salon, left arch. Use a hair chair under the hood dryers and press E to open the Hairstyles panel.
Skin: the Skin Tones booth, Skin tab.
Clothes and shoes: the Teleport pin at the top left, then “Dressing Room”.
Runway: Select the Teleport pin and choose “Freeplay Runway”.

The Hairstyles panel has tabs for Feminine, Masculine, Bangs, Curly, Straight, Wavy, Updo, Locs, Braids and Afro. Both looks here use the Wavy tab.

How recoloring and lace work in Dress To Impress

Click a piece to preview it. While it previews, the arrows step through its parts, and the panel label changes as you go, for example “1/2: Preview” or “1/5: Skirt”. For each part, pick a color on the Palette tab and, if you want, a material on the “+” tab. Then press Put On, the heart-and-tick button to the left of the panel.

The color references use positions on the Default palette: count columns from the left edge and rows downward from the top. Row 8 shades from white through to black, with black on the final heart. To change the color of something you have on, open Wearing with the hanger button at the right and select its image.

Find the lace design on Patterns: it is the first tile across in row three, illustrated with dark lace. Put straight onto the default white skirt, the lace showed up white. Picking purple on the Palette tab first and then the lace tile gave dark purple lace. A Palette color picked after the tile replaces the pattern. A star marks the selected tile; that symbol does not mean it is locked.

Set the color first and the lace tile second. Picking a Palette color after the tile removes the lace.

Free materials on the “+” tab are Default, Matte, Glitter, Rainbow Glitter, Denim, Silk, Light Silk, Metallic, Neon, Foil and Leather. Sequins and everything below it carry a gold star lock, and neither look needs them. The panel also notes, “Some materials only work with higher qualities.” Silk gives the purple and black a velvet-like sheen that suits the style.

Whimsigoth skin and makeup for both looks

At the Skin Tones booth, open Skin and select the second swatch in the top row for a very pale tone. For the makeup, use a vanity: open Feminine and choose the third card in row two. It gives smoky gray eyes, gray lips and subtle dark crack lines; use it for both outfits.

Whimsigoth look 1: Purple and black ball dress

Take a seat at a hair chair, switch to Wavy, and select the leftmost card in the second row. It gives you long, dark brown waves with curtain bangs. Leave the color at its default HEX #463931, then select Put On.

In the Dressing Room, find the lower party-dress shelf and click the pale pink ball dress on the middle mannequin. The panel reads “1/2: Preview”.

On part 1, pick Palette column 3, row 7 (deep purple), then Silk on the “+” tab. That colors the bodice and skirt.

Whimsigoth look 2: Purple lace tiered gown

Begin with the tiered ruffle gown on the mannequin beside the party-dress unit. This is not the ball dress: it features a bandeau top and a long skirt made of tiers. The skirt is split into five parts, colored as follows.

Skirt part	Color
1/5 Skirt	Purple (column 3, row 7) + lace
2/5 Leopard Print	Black
3/5 Flower Details	Purple
4/5 Hemline	Black
5/5 Belt	Purple

If you’re coming from look 1, open the Wearing panel and press the heart X under the ball dress and the boots. Only the hair should be left on.

Click the hair’s picture in the Wearing panel and set both parts to Palette column 2, row 7. On the runway, it reads as a berry or raspberry pink-purple.
