Growing up, I enjoyed dress up games in a very special way. My sisters and I shared a dress up box full of clothing that had been collected over the years by our mother. Inside the box were old formals, various dresses, shoes, purses and even a terrific old hat. Any time we put on the clothes from a few decades ago, we were reminded of how much fashion changes over the years. We certainly wouldn’t’ wear those clothes in real life – and they were only ten or fifteen years old and still completely outdated.
In a similar fashion, online dress up game create a dress up box in much the same way. In the vast majority of cases, designers don’t update the original models of the games. Instead they create new ones to reflect the more current styles. This means that over the years older games get left behind, but are still very visible on gaming websites and such.
Someday you’ll be online playing the latest versions of dress up games and stumble upon a link to an older version of the same game. You’ll marvel at the clothing styles the dolls are wearing and then wonder why in the world you ever wore that – it’s just the nature of fashion.
