Several months ago, Amanda Rampersad purchased a flowing pink tulle dress, cinched at the waist, with ruffled short sleeves and covered with shimmering pink sequin strawberries.Strawberry Midi Dress that looks equal parts fairytale princess and Southern Belle — a special treat for herself after getting a promotion. She also tagged Matoshi in the post.
That’s because since approximately the end of July, Matoshi’s dress has become a viral phenomenon. NBC News spoke with a half dozen people who either purchased the dress, made their own or bought a cheaper knock-off version. They said the dress has been a kind of romantic escapism from what feels like the endless frump of quarantine sweatpants.
“It’s really interesting. I’m not sure what triggered it because the dress has been available for a really long time,” Rampersad said.
Wrong taste, she makes the strawberry dress look beautiful .
I’m going to see this piece at 8am - while in my Mizzou t-shirt/shorts shutting off video at a virtual meeting. Damn you NBC.
Flowery look, nighty design. Old fashion fruit jam.

The dress is all wrong. The strings are *de trop* and just thrown at the dress and the sleeves are either too high or too low.
Some intern’s been waiting to use the word dowdy on the internet since the second grade when they first saw it in “Harry Potter and the Over-Wordy Beelzebubs”
“Dowdy”? How old are you, 98?
Who wrote this? Slow news day. Just stop.
It’s really cute!
It looks like a housecoat. How do you know I am wearing boring dowdy clothes? People get nuttier every day.
