Remember that dress that went viral early this year when people couldn't figure out if it was white and gold or black and blue?
Well, now another dress has gone viral. But not for its color!
Dozens of meteorologists have been spotted wearing the same dress on TV after getting the idea from a private Facebook group for female meteorologists.
"I bought today's dress on Amazon for $23!" said KDFW-TV FOX 4 meteorologist Jennifer Myers on her Facebook page. "Someone posted a link to it on our broadcast meteorologist group Facebook page and it got REALLY popular. More than 50 of us purchased the dress, so if you travel and watch the news, you might see something familiar!" she said. Myers is also the one that put the collage of all the meteorologists wearing the dress on-air together.
The dress, which comes in 7 colors, is described as a women's stretch tunic pencil sheath dress from Homeyee.
Shelby Hays, a meteorologist at KOCO in Oklahoma, told Tech Insider about the strict dress code many female meteorologists are subject to. Patterns are considered "too busy" and there are often regulations on sleeve length or style, Hays said. They also have to deal with the chromakey screen, and depending on what color it is, they have to stay entirely away from anything either blue or green.
Meteorologist Lyndsay Tapases of WBTV in Charlotte, NC told BuzzFeed that "the goal is to look polished, professional, and credible. But finding business casual that is also flattering, stylish, and comfortable can be difficult — especially since most women are also looking for dresses with sleeves."
On-air talent, in most cases, don't have a clothing allowance and are responsible for buying all of their clothing, which can be tricky.
That's where the Facebook group - and this dress - come in handy.
Danielle Vollmar, a meteorologist at WCVB in Boston told New England One that she is a member of the Facebook group.
"When I saw the post and the price tag I couldn't pass it up!" she told us. "I love a deal especially when the dress flatters everyone! I bought it in 3 colors!"
WFXT Boston meteorologist Sarah Wrobleski and WLNE Providence meteorologist Chelsea Priest also bought the dress and shared their thoughts on Twitter.
"So many different colors... can't go wrong!" Wrobleski said. "This dress looks good on everyone!"
"This is cracking me up!" Priest said of the collage making its rounds on the Internet. "It's gone viral!"
There's only one bad thing though... now that this dress has gone viral, and with the holidays right around the corner, getting your hands on one of these might now be hard.
