Whoops! Target Inadvertently Offers 'Manatee' Dresses For Plus-Size Women - Forbes

In the Twitter era, marketers have to be extra careful that what they put on their websites isn’t offensive, even intentionally. Extra, extra careful.

Witness what happened yesterday when self-described “Digital Maven” Susan Clemens was shopping on Target.com and noticed an odd discrepancy: The same style of dress in the exact same color was labeled differently depending on the size. The name of the color on the plus-size version was suggestive, and not in a flattering way.

To top it off, the Plus size was $3.00 cheaper. Usually, it's the other way around. More fabric costs more money.

Target has apologized after shoppers in Brooklyn discovered a style of plus-size dresses sold in “manatee gray.”

The dress was sold in “dark heather gray” in smaller sizes, the New York Post reported.

it seems a tad insensitive to name the same color in the Plus size Manatee ..... but people need to get a grip
