Having followed Dress to Impress since its early days, I can confidently say this Valentine’s Update represents the developers’ most ambitious seasonal event yet. With over 50 new items, a brand-new quest system, four additional ranks, and exclusive limited-time cosmetics, you’ll want to mark your calendars for this romantic fashion extravaganza. The best part? I’ve gathered all the insider information from official sources, community discussions, and hands-on testing to ensure you don’t miss a single detail.

Release Date & Global Launch Times

The Dress to Impress Valentine’s Update officially launched on February 7, 2025, at 8:00 AM PST. This timing was confirmed by the official Dress to Impress Twitter account, making it the most authoritative source for release information. However, it’s worth noting that some sources, including the official Wiki, list February 8th as the release date – this discrepancy likely stems from timezone differences and regional rollout schedules.

Global Release Schedule

Here’s exactly when the Valentine’s Update went live across different time zones:

Region	Local Time	Date
US (West)	8:00 AM PST	February 7
US (East)	11:00 AM EST	February 7
Brazil	1:00 PM BRT	February 7
UK	4:00 PM GMT	February 7

Pro Tip: I recommend logging in 15-30 minutes before the scheduled release time in your region. Major DTI updates often experience server congestion, and getting in early ensures you can access all the new content before the rush!

Two-Part Update Structure

The Valentine’s Update was strategically divided into two parts to maximize player engagement and content delivery:

Complete Item Breakdown: 50+ New Fashion Pieces

The Valentine’s Update introduced an impressive variety of new items, carefully categorized to suit every fashion preference. Let me break down exactly what was added:

The update brought a dozen stunning new hairstyles, ranging from romantic updos to trendy casual looks. Each hairstyle features multiple color customization options and some include toggle variations for different styling options.

New Rank System: Four Additional Tiers

The Valentine’s Update introduced four prestigious new ranks, giving dedicated players even more goals to strive for:

Rank	Star Range	Reward
Glamour Elite	50,000 – 75,000	Trend-Setter Dress
Fashion Mogul	75,000 – 100,000	Runway Diva Crown
Supernova	100,000 – 150,000	Top Model Silk Robe
Fashion Goddess	150,000+	Supernova Crown

These ranks require significant dedication but offer some of the most exclusive rewards in the game. I recommend focusing on completing the Valentine’s Quest and participating in themed events to accelerate your star accumulation.

Valentine’s Quest: A Romantic Adventure

The centerpiece of this update is the brand-new Valentine’s Quest, split into two engaging chapters:

Chapter 1: Cupid’s Challenge

In this opening chapter, you’ll help Cupid prepare for Valentine’s Day by completing various fashion challenges and romantic tasks. The quest introduces you to the new seasonal mechanics and rewards you with the exclusive “Cupid’s Prodigy” set upon completion.

Chapter 2: The Fortress Adventure

The second chapter takes you on a more daring journey to the mysterious Fortress, where you’ll face fashion battles and unlock additional rewards. This chapter is more challenging but offers greater rewards for completion.

Pro Strategy: I recommend completing these quests as early as possible, as some rewards are time-limited and the quest structure may change in future updates.

Exclusive Codes & Limited-Time Rewards

The Valentine’s Update introduced several exclusive codes that players needed to act quickly on:

SWEETHEART Code

Reward: Sweetheart Dress (reworked version)
Availability: February 15-16, 2025 (24-hour window)

Special Note: This was one of the shortest-lived codes in DTI history, creating urgency among players

ELLA Code

Reward: Ella’s Skirt
Features: 2 toggles, 4 color customization options

How to Redeem Codes

Important Tip: Always copy and paste codes directly to avoid typos. Many codes expire quickly, so I recommend checking for new codes daily through official channels.
