What Is the Code for the Petal Dress in DTI?

The Petal Dress is one of the most sought-after items in Dress to Impress (DTI), and players constantly search for the code to unlock it. Here's the quick answer you need:

The Petal Dress code was WINTERUPDATE — but unfortunately, this code has expired. It was released on December 14, 2024, during the Winter Update launch and lasted only a few hours before expiring the same day. This made it one of the rarest codes in DTI history.

If you missed the Petal Dress, don't worry. This guide covers everything about this exclusive item, why the code expired so quickly, and alternative dress codes you can still redeem today.

The WINTERUPDATE Code: What Happened?

The WINTERUPDATE code was released to celebrate the December 2024 Winter Update in Dress to Impress. Here's the complete breakdown:

Code	Reward	Release Date	Expiration	Duration
WINTERUPDATE	Petal Dress	Dec 14, 2024	Dec 14, 2024	~3-4 hours

Why Did It Expire So Fast?

The WINTERUPDATE code had one of the shortest lifespans of any DTI code ever released. Several factors contributed to this:

1. Launch-day exclusive — The code was meant to reward players who logged in during the exact moment of the Winter Update release
2. High demand — The Petal Dress design was extremely popular, creating massive redemption traffic
3. Limited promotion — Unlike other codes, this one wasn't widely announced in advance
4. Developer decision — The DTI team likely intended it as a rare collector's item

Players who weren't online during those few hours on December 14, 2024, permanently missed the opportunity to claim this elegant dress.

What Does the Petal Dress Look Like?

The Petal Dress features:

• Flowing silhouette with layered fabric resembling flower petals
• Soft pastel colors perfect for romantic and elegant themes
• Versatile styling that works for formal, fantasy, and spring runway challenges
• Unique texture that stands out from standard shop items

This combination of elegance and rarity made the Petal Dress one of the most coveted free items in DTI's 2024 lineup.

Can I Still Get the Petal Dress?

Unfortunately, no. The WINTERUPDATE code is permanently expired, and there's currently no alternative way to obtain the Petal Dress. DTI codes typically don't return once expired, and the Petal Dress hasn't been added to the regular shop or VIP pass.

However, the DTI development team occasionally:

• Re-releases popular items during anniversary events
• Creates similar designs with new codes
• Adds expired code items to special bundles

Keep an eye on our DTI Codes homepage for any announcements about Petal Dress returns or similar items.
