You may have heard of a "designer vagina", but you've probably never dreamed of a designer vagina dress.

But when Australian blogger Sam, from the Facebook page and website 'School Mum' published a photograph online that her husband took of her in a pricey new outfit, the first thing most people noticed about it was its rather astounding resemblance to female genitalia.

So I bought this dress today from MYER because I really liked it ... I got home and put it on for hubby and any guesses first thing he said?? #dressfail #onceyouseeyoucantunsee

After posting her photograph, she got replies from other women who had also bought the very same "vagina print". One woman, Jennifer Sewell, added a picture of herself in it and wrote: "I tried it on with my 15 year old daughter in the change room. She burst out laughing "take it off mum!!""

Another, Denise-Louise Chalmers, wrote: "Vagina is the new black, haha!"

What colour is this dress?

Realising she couldn't wear the dress with a straight face, the blogger took it back to the shop and was rewarded with a refund.

"So I took "the dress" back today for a refund and one of the ladies at the sales counter recognised me from the post I did of me in "the dress"," she wrote on her Facebook page.

"We all had a little chuckle and they happily returned it."

She added: "I guess I will now be known as the 'vagina dress lady'..."
