Materials+ is worth it for frequent Dress to Impress players who already care about detailed styling and regularly use materials to make outfits stand out.
At its current standard price of around 299 Robux, however, it would not be my first paid feature for every beginner.
Custom Makeup or another gamepass may solve a bigger limitation depending on how you style outfits.

Key Takeaways#
- Materials+ currently costs around 299 Robux at the standard price.
- It adds a large collection of extra material and texture choices.
- It is most useful for players who already understand layering and color combinations.
- It does not give you complete outfits automatically.
- Frequent stylists tend to get much more value than casual players.
- Visual quality and device performance can affect how impressive some materials look.
What Does Materials+ Do?#
Dress to Impress lets players change more than just the color of an item.
Materials can change how a surface feels visually.
That can help make clothing look more like:
- lace
- glossy fabric
- metallic material
- textured fabric
- fantasy surfaces
- patterned material
Materials+ expands the number of material options available to you.
Instead of adding one specific dress, it gives you a styling tool you can reuse across many outfits.
Why That Matters#
This is the biggest advantage over buying one Robux outfit set.
A specific set might work perfectly for:
- one aesthetic
- one theme
- one type of outfit
Materials+ can potentially improve dozens of completely different looks.
For a creative player, reusable customization tools usually age better than one fixed outfit.
Who Should Buy Materials+?#
I would recommend it most strongly if you:
- play DTI regularly
- understand basic layering
- use materials frequently
- want more texture detail
- enjoy building original outfits
- already feel limited by the free material choices
If you barely touch the material menu today, buying more materials will not automatically change the way you play.
Community Feedback#
Recent DTI community discussions are generally positive toward Materials+ among active stylists.
Players frequently mention that additional textures make it easier to add detail without relying completely on patterns.
There are still criticisms.
Some users think 299 Robux is expensive for a customization feature, while others report that certain textures look better at higher graphics settings than on weaker devices.
That means your device matters more here than with a simple permanent clothing unlock.
Materials+ vs Custom Makeup#
These are both reusable creative tools, which makes this an interesting comparison.
Choose Materials+ if:
- clothing texture is your main limitation
- you already like available makeup
- you want surface detail across many items
Choose Custom Makeup if:
- faces are your biggest styling limitation
- you constantly want unique eyes, lips and face combinations
- you want a feature visible in almost every outfit
For a completely new paid DTI player, I still think Custom Makeup has a stronger universal case.
For an experienced stylist, Materials+ can be just as impactful.
Materials+ vs VIP#
VIP gives access to more exclusive wardrobe content.
Materials+ changes how existing items can look.
That makes them very different.
VIP gives you more pieces.
Materials+ gives you more ways to style pieces.
If you already have a large wardrobe and want to increase versatility, Materials+ becomes more appealing.
What About Regional Pricing?#
Materials+ has a standard listed price around 299 Robux, but some players see lower eligible regional prices.
That can dramatically change whether the purchase feels worthwhile.
For example, a player seeing a heavily discounted regional price has a completely different value calculation from somebody paying the full standard amount.
Always evaluate the price shown on your own account.
Is It Worth It on Mobile?#
It can still be useful on mobile.
However, very detailed visual materials may depend more on:
- graphics level
- screen quality
- device performance
than a simple item unlock.
If your device already struggles with DTI, I would test the free materials extensively before paying for a larger material library.
