An image in the latest catalogue for U.S. department store JCPenny is causing some Twitter users to see blood red over a white skirt with a strategically placed large fuschia-colored flower.
An Imgur user pointed out that the flower could be mistaken for a blood stain, it has since been dubbed the “period skirt”. The caption read: “really could’ve picked a better place for that flower design….”
The picture has over 300,000 views.

JCPenney cheekily responded on Twitter:
We think it’s a fab skirt for any time of the month. Period. https://t.co/rCAjNiEw5Z https://t.co/0Zdzo1aWbs
