Grunge Dress To Impress: 2 Outfit Ideas (Tartan Mini With Platform Boots, Gray Slip Dress With Combat Boots)

Two Grunge outfit ideas for Dress To Impress: a brown tartan wrap mini with chunky platform boots, and a dark gray slip dress with black work boots, with where to find the plaid pattern.

Two Grunge outfit ideas for Dress To Impress: a brown tartan wrap mini with chunky platform boots, and a dark gray slip dress with black work boots, with where to find the plaid pattern.

Grunge in Dress To Impress, the Roblox fashion game, means plaid, black and washed-out dark colors, chunky boots, messy hair, and smudged makeup. Your grunge DTI look comes from recoloring, not from a special grunge item, so the two outfits below use free pieces from the Dressing Room plus one pattern tile that sits far down the list. More themes are in the Dress To Impress themes guide.

Quick answer: Pair the top-shelf sarong in the brown tartan pattern with a black crop top and chunky black platform boots, or wear the white fitted mini recolored dark gray and black with black work boots.

The hair chairs sit under the hood dryers. Their Hairstyles panel has tabs for Feminine, Masculine, Bangs, Curly, Straight, Wavy, Updo, Locs, Braids, and Afro. On the Teleport pin, pick “Dressing Room” for clothes or “Freeplay Runway” to walk the finished look.

How recoloring and patterns work in Dress To Impress

Click a piece to preview it. While it previews, the arrows step through its parts, and the panel labels each one, such as “1/1: Sarong”, “1/2: Top”, “2/2: Straps”, or “1/4: Preview”. For each part, choose a Palette color, a Patterns tile, or a material on the “+” tab. Leather is one of the free materials. Then press Put On, the heart-and-tick button to the left of the panel.

Find plaid among the Patterns tiles rather than as a separate item. Scroll roughly two dozen notches through the Patterns grid to reach the brown-and-cream tartan, beside a tile with red and white stripes. Choosing the tartan overrides any Palette color on that part; its brown-and-cream colors stay as they are.

Further toward the top of Patterns, you’ll find more plaid-like designs, such as a pastel plaid and a houndstooth in black and white.

Grunge skin and smoky face card (both looks)

Use the same skin and face for both outfits. At the Skin Tones booth, open Skin and select the very pale swatch in the first row’s second position. Then, at a Lana’s Salon vanity, open Feminine and choose the card in the second row’s third spot. Its smoky-gray eyes, gray lips, and subtle dark crack lines create a smudged, worn-out appearance.


Look 1: Tartan wrap mini with platform boots

Start with the two-piece set on the party-dress unit’s upper shelf: a strappy crop top paired with a wrap sarong skirt.

At a hair chair, open the Masculine tab and pick the right card in the third row, a choppy layered shag cut with two parts. Keep the default colors, which show light brown with blonde streaks, and press Put On.

In the Dressing Room, click the sarong on the top-shelf mannequin to open “1/1: Sarong”. You can set Palette column 1, row 6 (red) first, but the next step replaces it.

Open Patterns and scroll until you reach the brown-and-cream tartan. Selecting it adds a star to the tile and changes the skirt to a brown tartan wrap mini. Press Put On.

Select the crop top on that mannequin. Choose black for both “1/2: Top” and “2/2: Straps” by clicking the final heart in row 8, then press Put On.

Select the chunky black platform boots with the white buckle strap from the shoe shelf’s bottom row. The panel starts at “1/4: Preview”; leave the default black selected and press Put On.

You’ll know the outfit is complete when the Wearing panel lists all four pieces, the hair, sarong, top, and boots.

Look 2: Gray slip dress with combat boots

For this look, use a separate garment: the fitted white mini with puff sleeves on the party-dress shelf below.

Open the Wearing panel and take off every Look 1 piece with the heart X under each picture.
At a hair chair, open the Straight tab and pick the right card in the first row, long straight hair. Keep the default colors, which read bright pink-red on the runway, and press Put On.

Click the white fitted mini to open “1/4: Preview”. Set part 1 to black, then choose Leather on the “+” tab.
Step through parts 2/4 to 4/4 and set each to Palette column 7, row 8, a dark gray. The result is a dark gray fitted mini with a black bodice. Press Put On.

The puff sleeves don’t show once the dress is recolored, so the finished piece reads as a sleeveless slip.

On the shoe shelf’s bottom row, far right, click the tan lace-up work boots. The “1/4: Preview” may show them pink at first. Set parts 1/4 to 4/4 to black for combat-style work boots, then press Put On.

Grunge DTI questions

How do I get plaid in DTI for Grunge?

With a garment preview open, go to Patterns to apply the design. Look deep in the list for the brown tartan, alongside a tile showing red and white stripes.

How do I do grunge DTI without VIP?

Both looks are free. Every piece, color, pattern tile, and material above, including Leather, costs no Robux and no in-game cash.

What shoes work for Grunge?

Chunky black platform boots, or the tan lace-up work boots recolored black.

What hair and makeup fit Grunge?

A messy shag from the Masculine tab or long straight hair from the Straight tab, paired with the smoky gray face card from the vanity’s Feminine tab.

Is Grunge the same as the 1990s theme?

They’re related, since grunge is a 90s style, but they’re separate themes. The 1990s theme guide has more 90s looks beyond plaid and black.
