I don't see a dress at all.  Just a horseblanket.

I guess blue and black, I can't see white and gold even in the brightest picture. The gold I can see, but the blue remains... Blue, to me. At first I thought it was like those optical illusions where you can see two different things alternatively (like the cup and the faces), but no. No white for me.

In the photo it's obviously white and gold, but photographed in shadow.  That's absolutely what I thought, and although I could see how people might think the white is a pale blue, there was no way the other colour could be black.  Absolutely not. 100%
Then I saw a TV news item about it, in which the reporter showed us the dress (which is undoubtedly undeniably dark blue and black - 100%) and then he put the image through filters that made it turn white and gold. 
So, it's  been tweaked with.  The actual shade of blue is darker than the shade used for Facebook, in case you haven't seen it without the tweaking.

Can I be the first to say that, as dresses go, it isn't particularly fetching and would remain so regardless of what colour it is in reality (blue and black), in the image (pale blue and pale mustard/brown) or in people's perception (white and gold). It would be equally as ugly in any other colour combination.

The true question about said dress should be: what size is it?

I'm colorblind, so I'm used to having no idea what the color is or people look at me funny when I describe the color of something.

Blue and gold, really. But I'll go with white and gold because I see no black no matter what light or angle I look at it.

last night when i saw it on reddit I was SURE it was black and blue
but now it's white and gold
but does it really matter?
