Poo Emoji Dress is surprisingly classy, but also covered in poo emoji
Betabrand's Poo Emoji Dress takes the lowbrow messaging symbol and elevates it into high fashion.
No longer is poo emoji fashion just for the guys. In a sweeping move for equality, clothing maker Betabrand has unveiled a Poo Emoji Dress. The dress follows Betabrand's poop emoji button-up shirt geared for men.
The Poo Emoji Dress gives a throwback nod to 1940s style with its clean-cut design, button-down front and simple neckline. From a distance, it reads as subtle and classic. It tells the world you're a woman of taste, that you don't need sequins and flash to make an impression. Up close, it reads "oh poop."
If you haven't taken a moment to really appreciate the humble poo emoji, then now is a good time. It's a little brown triangle of excrement with big eyes and a wide, all-embracing smile. In conjunction with other emoji, it can be used to communicate phrases like "pooped out" and "party pooper" along with a whole bunch of other sentiments that may require a censor.
Like with the shirt, Betabrand launched the dress through its crowdfunding page to collect preorders and gauge customer interest. There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who would pay an early-bird price of $106.20 (about £70, AU$137) for a poo emoji dress, and those who won't. The dress has already handily surpassed its funding goal, with 10 days left to go.
The dress needs to be hand-washed, which should lead to the best excuse ever to get out of a date: "I'm so sorry. I absolutely must dash. I need to go home and hand-wash my poo emoji."
