There is nothing like a fit check on the internet to humble you. That’s what happened for one woman on TikTok by the name of Aubrey, who shared a video where she asks other users for their opinions on her outfit. It’s a new style for her, and one that not just anyone can pull off. Think of it as Little House on the Prairie chic. But then TikTokers left comments sharing their brutally honest thoughts on the outfit, including jokes about its appropriate time period.
To be fair, in her video, Aubrey urges other users on TikTok not to “spare her feelings” and to be honest. The outfit is a gingham baby doll dress with a skirt that looks kind of like a doily underneath it. It could be worse and, according to some users, it’s not a bad look. But others were quick to share their brutally honest thoughts about the outfit.
She asks if she is being ‘delusional’ with her outfit choice.

In her video, Audrey wears the dress paired with a bandana. She asks viewers if she is being “delusional” at this point or if her outfit is acceptable to wear out. She explains that she added the skirt to give the dress a little more length, and it does seem to go well with the style of the dress. The only problem is whether she can pull it off.
“Is this look OK?” Aubrey says in the clip, standing back to give everyone a full view of her outfit. “Is this kind of cute? Like, it’s like bordering on ‘Ooh that’s kind of cute.’ Or, is it just like, ‘You shouldn’t leave the house like that?'” she asks.
An influx of comments poured in about the dress and its origins. More importantly, many wanted to know if it is from another time period, with one user commenting, “When is the trip?? 4 score and 7 years ago?”
Another joked, “Are women even allowed to work in the time period that you bought that dress?”
When someone else wrote, “It’s givingā¦Thanksgiving. The first one,” Aubrey liked that comment. She actually liked plenty of others, and she appears to have a sense of humor about the whole thing.
Other commenters joked about Aubrey being a spokesperson for Quaker Oats, while multiple people compared the dress to something out of the era when America was discovered. Even when someone commented to share an idea about how best to wear the dress, the person added that Aubrey still shouldn’t leave the house in it.
She later made a follow-up video and admitted she had every intention of wearing the dress before she received the comments that urged her not to. But she is also leaning into the bit and calls herself the “Quaker Oats girl” in the follow-up video. She also says she knows social media can be brutal and she expected some of the responses she got.
But whether or not Aubrey is now in on the joke, you can’t deny the absolute bangers that came out of her video that started it all. That includes this comment, which reads, “It depends, what color is your bonnet? And will you be bringing a modesty scarf?”
