Literally looks like two different colored dresses. I know that's the real color, but I just cannot see it. Shrug.

Right? Thats always been my take.

The picture's exposure/brightness whatever has been so overadjusted that the black and blue looks white and gold.

You can tell me over and over that its "actually black and blue", and even show me the real dress beside it, but I cannot for the life of me shift my view on the original picture and somehow view the dress as black and blue.

Wow, it switched for me in the time it took me to scroll down the page. That's new.

Why does the right one not have sleeves?

[–] mingistech 3 points 1 year ago

Neither do, that’s an accessory jacket sold along with the dress.

The original photo was for bridesmaid dresses, being sent out as an approval picture or something.

Looks like they were considering adding a short sleeved jacket to the ensemble.
