ITV2, 4 September 2017 to present

Synopsis

Date the outfit, not the person.

We meet four young single people. Over the next hour, one of them (the chooser) will have five new outfits and one date, courtesy of the other three who will dress them.

The chooser introduces himself to the dressers by a video clip. Each dresser is allowed £150, and 30 minutes of shopping, to find a suitable outfit for the chooser.

Shop till you drop.

Then we see the chooser open all three boxes, read a note, and wear the outfit. Whoever wore the worst outfit is off the show.

Two dressers remain for the second round, effectively a repeat of the first. There's a larger budget - £200 - but still 30 minutes, and we'll still see the chooser pick from the outfits offered.

The winner is unveiled.

This second outfit is relevant for the date, and the chooser wears their preferred outfit to that date. Whoever came up with that outfit gets to go on the date. After the date, we see the pair put their cards on the table, literally saying "Yes" or "No" to another date.

A lot of new ideas here. We viewers see everyone, but the chooser is picking their date blind - all they see are the outfits, not the people behind them. We don't see which outfit is worn to the date, we share the dressers' surprise at the result.

We're not sure that Dress to Impress has quite enough to fill a full hour - it's the same round played twice, with no real difference.

Inventor

Matt Edmondson. He also writes and narrates the show in his own inimitable style.

Theme music

Matt Fisher and Chris Hollis are credited for "Original Music".

Trivia

A family viewing show, Dress to Impress went out at 6pm.

-: The three shoppers will face a number of style based challenges; one wrong purchase could see them sent home by our selective singleton. The remaining two hopefuls will go head to head in a final challenge to bag a special date. They say "love is blind" and it most certainly is for the fashion savvy singleton who'll have nothing to go on but the outfits the hopefuls come up with. Who will be chosen for that all important date?
