Target apologizes for plus-sized dress color description

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- Target is apologizing after a backlash over the color description on a dress. Target had an ad for a kimono maxi dress. The standard sized version of the dress is available in dark heather gray, but the same color in the plus-sized version was described as "manatee gray". Manatees are large marine mammals that are sometimes called sea cows. An Orange County woman tweeted about the color discrepancy and it got a lot of attention. Target caught wind and issued an apology. They are also saying they're working to fix it. (Copyright ©2013 KGO-TV/DT. All Rights Reserved.)
