Avant Basic in Dress To Impress, the Roblox fashion game, asks you to take everyday basics like denim, a plain white top, gray, black and white and push them into a dramatic, high-fashion shape. When the lobby banner reads “Theme: Avant Basic”, these two avant basic dti looks cover it, and neither one needs VIP or Robux. More themes are in the Dress To Impress themes guide.

Quick answer: Blow up a basic’s shape. Wear a full ball dress recolored blue in Denim with white sneakers, or a plain white top over a gray tiered gown skirt with chunky black boots.

How to recolor a piece and add Denim

Every color below refers to the Default palette, counted by column from the left and row from the top. Rows 4 to 6 in column 4 hold the blues. Row 8 runs from white to black, with gray in column 3 and black on the last heart. Do the color first and the material second, one part at a time.

Click a piece in the Dressing Room to open its preview panel. The panel shows which part you’re editing, such as “1/2: Preview”.
Open the Palette tab and pick a color for that part. The preview updates right away.

Avant Basic look 2: White top with a gray tiered skirt

The second look pairs a simple white top with a dramatic skirt in plain gray. It starts from a different base, the skirt of the pink tiered gown on the mannequin beside the party-dress unit.

Use a hair chair to open Updo, then select the rightmost card in row three: a bangs ponytail, red by default with dark streaks (“1/1”). In Palette, choose the final heart in row 8 to turn it sleek black.
