Target Dress Apology For “Manatee Gray” Label Online

An online shopper noticed the differences on color labels for the same dress on Target.com. For smaller sizes dresses, the label was “Dark Heather Gray”, but for the plus-size dresses, the color label was “manatee gray”.

Look:
Manatee Gray

The moment the screen shot went online, it became viral as people call the distinction of the sizes offensive. As a note, manatees are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows.

Target already issued an apology saying:

“We never want to offend any of our guests. We apologize for any discomfort that we may have caused… We are in the process of fixing the discrepancy and updating Target.com so the gray dress will be available in all styles… We’re working on updating our systems right now.”

As of now, Target has removed the dress online.
