Premium: The Dress So Offensive Nobody Should Ever Make It (Seriously Guys Please Don't Make It)
When self-help/dressmaking influencer Cathy Hay travelled to Haiti to help rebuild after its catastrophic earthquake, she needed a dress that properly reflected all the support her fans had provided for her trip. Unfortunately, when she chose to recreate the legendary dress of a viceroy’s wife she found herself embroiled in a protracted struggle that would last over a decade. Truth is, she committed one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is: “never get involved in a dress war in India”, but only slightly less well-known is this: “never go against a white woman when social justice is on the line!”
