Lana Dress To Impress Costume Guide

#CommissionsEarned

What You’ll Need

Lana’s look from Dress To Impress centers on a sleek, salon-ready silhouette that leans into clean lines and polished minimalism. Recreating her appearance relies on getting the crisp white base pieces balanced against subtle gray accents and neat brunette styling.

Because her avatar is tied directly to the in-game nail station, carrying salon props gives the outfit immediate context. The build is straightforward, focusing on crisp base garments and a couple of clean prop details.

The Core White Silhouette

The foundation of Lana’s outfit is a clean, monochrome profile. A fitted white mock neck shirt serves as the primary top layer, providing the high-collar look seen on her in-game model. Pair this with a matching white skirt or tailored white trousers depending on which avatar iteration you prefer building around. Clean seams and opaque fabric prevent undergarments from showing through under bright event lighting.

Tucking the mock neck shirt into a high-waisted white pencil skirt or straight-leg trousers keeps the torso smooth under the belt. If the shirt has excess fabric around the waist, taking in the side seams slightly prevents bunching when the belt is fastened over it.

For footwear, simple white heels finish the lower half cleanly. A pointed or almond-toe pump matches the stylized runway aesthetic of Dress To Impress, but prioritize a heel height you can comfortably stand in during long shoots or gatherings.

Belt and Magnetic Accessories

A slim gray belt breaks up the all-white outfit right at the natural waist. Cinching the shirt cleanly creates the structured proportions of the game’s avatar model without bunching the fabric awkwardly.

If you want to add Lana’s salon badge or an exaggerated geometric buckle, craft the shape from white foam sheets. Craft foam cuts smoothly with a fresh craft blade and stays lightweight enough that it will not drag down your waistline. Applying a thin coat of craft primer before painting keeps the surface smooth and reflective, echoing the clean low-poly look of the game’s assets.

Instead of piercing safety pins through your white mock neck shirt, glue extra small magnets to the back of your foam piece and match them with a second magnet placed on the inside of the fabric. The magnetic hold keeps the prop firmly in place without leaving permanent holes or snags in the knit fabric.

Hair and Salon Props

Lana wears her brown hair swept back from her face in a tidy, functional updo. Starting with a medium brown wig that has enough density at the crown allows you to gather the fibers into a half-up twist or low bun. Lightly crimping the roots with a micro-crimper adds internal grip so the brown hair clip holds the weight of the fibers without sliding down. Lightly misting the hairline with hairspray keeps stray fibers controlled throughout wear.

Her role as the game’s resident manicurist makes hand props a natural addition to the outfit. Carrying a bottle of white nail polish alongside standard emery board nail files lets you pose naturally for photos while referencing her station in the game. You can also paint your own nails with the polish beforehand so the manicure theme is visible even when your hands are empty.
