Since Target said we must wear ugly clothing, a Funny photo shoot of a woman wearing a new Target dress
A new fashion trend has hit Target stores, but not everyone is a fan. Women across the United States are laughing at Target’s latest collection of dresses. Lesley Butterfield, a woman from Roanoke, Virginia, has taken her dislike for the dresses to another level by staging a hilarious photo shoot wearing one of them.
Butterfield’s photo shoot quickly went viral, inspiring many other women to share their funny images of themselves in the same dress. These “ugly as homemade sin” dresses, as described by Butterfield, have given rise to a new movement of sorts. Women from all over the country are participating with funny interpretations of the trend.

Butterfield’s photoshoot came with amusing captions that had everyone in stitches. She wrote, “Since Target has decided we all need a dress as ugly as homemade sin while we suffer amidst the pandemic, I reckon I would join this movement with the rest of the women, down home on the range”.
During the pandemic, people have been feeling stressed and anxious. Many have lost their jobs, and others struggle to make ends meet. However, Butterfield’s amusing take on the new fashion trend has brought much-needed laughter and joy to many people.

Butterfield also included a fictional journal entry about her day as a frontier woman during the pandemic in her Facebook post. The access was complete with references to the Pony Express, rhubarb cobbler, and candle dipping. She even joked about hunting for nuts and berries in the wild brush.
The dresses have been labelled “unflattering” and “unappealing” by many women who have tried them on. They feature large floral patterns in various colours, and the shape could be more structured, making them easier to wear.

Despite the unfavourable reviews, dresses are frequently discussed on social media. Women post pictures of themselves wearing the dresses and their thoughts on them. Some even use fabric from old curtains or bedspreads to make their DIY dress variations.
