The idea of a dress up game may be a little confusing when one thinks of it in the realm of the online arcade. Things generally become very complicated when something becomes a video game. That's why you have to take a look and understand that there really isn't anything different in an online dress up game than its real life version. They focus on the same basic ideas. There is a focus put towards letting your imagination take flight while letting your fashion sense loose. It is almost impossible to describe the great variety of dress up games in one fell swoop. It is only possible for me to talk about each type as I come to it.

I guess I'll start with the logical starting point. Young girls can have a little fun playing a game of online dress up that works as a counterpart to playing with their dolls. They can get a little baby boy or girl that they can dress up in a number of nice outfits. There really isn't a whole lot to say after that point. It is simple enough for girls of any age to play such a game. They just have to pick an outfit out of the inventory screen and then drag said outfit over to the baby. The clothes ...
... will pop on and they can move on to the next piece of clothing. These games can be done in a serious fashion sense or in a silly way. Girls can try out little sun dresses on their baby girls or they can dress up a baby in yellow sunglasses and a leather jacket. They truly have complete freedom.

There are some other options for the girls who have a true fashion gene dominating their thoughts. They can play slightly more advanced dress up games that let them take a more serious approach to more complicated fashion. Since 10-year-olds aren't often allowed at the shows in Milan, this is probably the best option for a fashion fantasy. These games will feature dresses that are straight off the runway and shoes that cost more than the computer. They will also have a full inventory of these high fashion options so that they may drag and drop to their heart's content. These higher level games will even let them print out their designs to hang up on the fridge as a reminder of their creativity.

Everything else pretty much falls between the two extremes. There are several dress up games that are far less serious. These tend to be more specialized towards one set genre. These will include the games that let you dress up your favorite celebrity or games that focus more on a target. These end up leaning toward the puzzle genre with the player needing to understand a subtle clue and figure out what they should dress the figure in. It's a neat little variant that gives a little more guidance to children who want a goal in want.

These should effectively cover just about everything that remotely falls under the realm of online dress up games. You should be ready for the plethora of arcade variants on this old classic.
