Target Dress Challenge: How it Started

While there were no reasons on how the challenge started, Lesley Butterfield shared on Facebook that the reason for why the challenge started is because of her stumbling upon a dress on popular retail store, Target. Instead of a trendy, modern, and generation-appropriate dress sold on the store, the prairie dress stood out as she was browsing on Target.

Jokingly, the #targetdresschallenge post of Butterfield contained a Journal Entry that mimics the people of the early days who usually updates their diaries instead of social media posts and statuses. Here, she mocked Target, the dress, and the pandemic that has pushed her to do manual labor works, as lockdown restrictions has forced her to churn butter.

Moreover, Lesley Butterfield mentioned a massive amount of the olden days' stereotypes including a train that delivers snail mail from friends and family, cooking rhubarb cobbler from a dutch oven, and China porcelains. The photo credits was to Butterfield's 10 year old son, who was able to capture the scenery of old Roanoke, Virginia.

According to WFXR Fox, Butterfield was surprised that her post trended, as she did not expect people to be interacting with the challenge. Moreover, her reason for starting the challenge is because of the hilarious dress that was seen on Target, and wanted to show the public that such a dress exists in the retail store. 

Lesley Butterfield's photos on Facebook included several props and equipment to capture the old American countryside, particularly during the era of the early life where people dress from several inches above the ankle, to their wrists. The trendsetter has regarded that life during the pandemic made her reflect that it almost has the same experiences to the "Frontier Era."
