Dress Chica (otherwise known as "Chica's Dress Up Game") was a mini-game part of The Sunny Side Up Show website on SproutOnline.com, which launched in 2007. It was based on The Sunny Side Up Show and ran on Adobe Flash.
It also had an app, launched in late January 2009[1] by New Wave Entertainment. The app was available on iPhones and the Sprout Channel Cubby. With the app, Sproutlets could shake the screen to make Chica dance.
The segment was created because Sproutlets at the time were just learning to dress themselves, and Sprout executives wanted to create a segment and online game companion to model that.[2]
Players could submit their creations for a chance to have them featured on The Sunny Side Up Show.
Objective
Sproutlets could dress Chica in a variety of different outfits as well as select a wig for her to wear.

- "You can help Chica get dressed in style. Choose from many different outfits by selecting hats, scarves and more. Play again and again to make a new outfit everytime!" (link)
Characters
Sprout characters' outfits, including Ricky, were available as costumes for Chica, and judging from two pictures, this game had the player dress Chica up like different Sprout characters at a point. Another outfit was a purple shirt with the flower from the Sprout logo on it in yellow.
Notes
- The television segment was originally called Chica's Costume Coop, which was also the name of the main setting of The Chica Show as well as said series' original pitch.
- After 2015, this segment was renamed "Dress Up with Chica," where hosts would showcase Sproutlets wearing dress-up costumes aside from dressing Chica up.
- Originally, the segments were used with a dresser in the Sunshine Barn. They were later used with a "costume carton" and then a couple of suitcases.
- An instrumental version of "Get Dressed" played in these segments.
- Several coloring pages were available on SproutOnline.com to tie in with the game.
- Dress Like Chica was an app similar to Dress Chica, except with the player's face on Chica's body.
- Dress Chica was played in Lend a Helping Hand, but without viewer submissions, so Chica dressed as a train engineer.
- A real-life version of this game was made for the "Chica Dress-Up Party" portion of Sprout's Birthday Party Center.
- When The Chica Show premiered in 2012, Chica's style was changed to her animated form from that show.
- After SproutOnline.com's refresh in 2015, the app was labeled as being based on The Chica Show.
