Everything about this game is framed in gilt. The menu looks like a portrait hanging on a dark damask wall, and the dressing room uses little gold picture frames as buttons. Your model is a round-faced doll with big blue eyes and curled hair, and the wardrobe is drawn from the Victorian era: tall hats trimmed with ribbons and feathers, fitted jackets with rows of buttons, full skirts with a bustle at the back, parasols and folding fans. Each frame shows a counter, so you always know how far through a category you are. The hats go to twelve, tops and bottoms to twenty, accessories to seven and backgrounds to six, which include a parlour with a grand piano. It is a calm, mouse-only classic from Spil Games.

How to play Victorian Girl Dress-Up
- Press Start on the portrait menu.
- Choose a room first from the background frame, since six settings change how colours read.
- Click the hat frame to cycle through twelve hairstyles with hats.
- Work through the top and bottom frames to build the dress, then add a parasol or fan from the accessories frame.
- Press Ready when she looks like she belongs in a nineteenth-century photograph.
Tips
- Victorian outfits looked best with a matching palette, so pick a colour for the hat and repeat it in the skirt.
- Counters on each frame, such as 1/20, show where you are; you can always click around to the first item again.
- Dark rooms suit pale lace and cream; the warm parlour suits deep blues and greens.
