Hello everyone! I don’t have much to say about this post — I just wanted to show you a fresh full outfit entirely from Yves Saint Laurent!!! 

Even though I’ve seen from my stats that you really enjoy this kind of content, I’ll definitely be back with more dress‑up games.



For those looking for me on IMVU, I’ve decided to close my account. See you in the next game!

My first look

Not gonna lie, I feel like the only real purpose of this game, besides dressing up your avatar, is chatting with players from every corner of the world… almost like a virtual dating app where you can wander through different rooms, houses, clubs, shop for clothes, post photos, and interact through likes and comments under each post. But what happens when the only thing that interests you is the creative side of the game and not the chatting? 
Don’t get me wrong… just because something doesn’t work for me doesn’t automatically mean I think it’s bad if it works for someone else...


IMVU is a 2D online game mainly targeted at adults for that exact reason (I honestly hadn’t realized it myself until recently). You can’t walk around with your avatar the way you can in other simulation games — at least not so far — and it’s definitely not like The Sims. The houses you can buy in‑game come already decorated by the creators…

I’ve gone through countless dress‑up and home‑decor games in the past, and I think this genre is honestly the one that entertains me the most. Still, even though this particular game isn’t one of those I’d get completely hooked on, it won me over with how realistically designed most items are — clothes, accessories, hair, everything — and the best part? It includes all my favorite brands!!!


From Louis Vuitton to Chanel, YSL, Balenciaga, Versace, Christian Louboutin — and pretty much anything else you can think of. Bags, boots, dresses… if not everything, then most of it looks incredibly realistic, as long as you “invest” in the right skin...

When you create a new account, the game gives you 4,000 credits to start building your avatar. At this point I should mention that earning money in‑game is pretty difficult — it pushes you quite a lot to spend real money, which is honestly another reason why I’m not that motivated to keep investing time in this virtual world.

But let’s see how you can make the most out of those credits so you won’t have to spend from your own wallet, and still create a super realistic character with just 4K — maybe even less… 


 1) Choose your first look 

Pick the character whose items you want to keep. For example, I chose a female avatar purely because of the shoes she was wearing — you can do the same for the pants, the hair, etc.
1) Head 

The first thing I’d recommend buying is the face. It’s probably the most expensive item, so before you finalize your purchase, add the face you want along with the rest of the items to your cart, and preview everything together before you buy it.



2) Clothes 

Someone might expect me to suggest hair or a body type as the second choice, but nope. The default female avatars actually have some really nice hair options — and even if none of them fully convince you, you can always add hair to your cart later, since I’m planning to include it as the fourth step (I’m pretty sure you’ll have some credits left over).
Chanel Set


For clothes, I picked a full set to save credits. Keep in mind that some outfits also change your body type. I went with this white Chanel set and kept the shoes from the original avatar I chose…


3) Details 

I don’t know if you say this too, but where I’m from we say “the details make the difference,” so at this point I’d suggest spending your credits on one or two small touches — like your avatar’s pose, eyelashes (if the head you chose doesn’t already have them), a subtle body glow, or nails 💅🏻

4) Hair 

Now that you’re almost done, you can go ahead and buy the hair you want — and I’m sure you’ll still have a few credits left over.



*Note: Don’t forget to add your favorite items to your wishlist — if you’re lucky, someone might gift you your next piece!

Hope this helps 💋
