A trend on Facebook dubbed the #targetdresschallenge is going viral. It stems from this post Imgur user @BeExcellentToEachOtter posted back in December:

People soon started recreating old-timey photos with the dresses and sharing them in public farming and chicken Facebook groups, like the BYC (BackYardChickens). But then the photos started being shared all over Facebook.
