The debate rages on—and this time, with a powerful message.
Evolving the Dress debate from an Web phenomenon to anything far more, South Africa’;s Salvation Army (partnered with Carehaven) designed a powerful public service announcement about domestic violence inspired by the white-gold vs. blue-black shade-primarily based argument.

“Why is it so tough to see black and blue?” the poster, which functions a lady covered in bruises wearing a white and gold model of The Dress, asks readers. It continues, “The only illusion is if you feel it was her decision. One in 6 women are victims of abuse. Cease abuse towards ladies.”
