A stunning discovery of an infamous optical illusion dress – which had become viral on the internet in 2015 – went viral on TikTok after it was again found by a woman at a yard sale.
In 2015, the dress became a huge topic of debate after a mother shared apicture of it before her daughter's wedding andpeople could not decide if the garment's colour was black and blue or gold and white.
The debate had turned so fierce that scientists devised theories on why different colours were seen by different people when presented with the image.
The British brand Roman Originals made the dress and it was black and blue. The dress has again gone viral after it resurfaced in a yard sale in Burlington, Vermont.
Amanda Rubinstein discovered the dress and shared it on TikTok. “I’m at a yard sale and they have a lot of great stuff, including the dress. I knew it was blue," she said in the video.
