After these comments, the former public protector headed to Twitter to ask other users their opinion on the dress. "A few “not so kind people” have said my Designed and Made in Rwanda Dress looks like a bedspread or curtain. Do you agree?"
The post received a few mixed responses, with some users praising the dress while others continued with harsh comments.

I'd say "curtain" or "bedspread" is being kind. pic.twitter.com/bB8Nei0ppH
