Female TV meteorologists nationwide have at least one thing in common, according to a popular Facebook post on Nov. 21: They all wear the same dress.

Jennifer Myers, a Dallas meteorologist, explained the discovery when she posted a collage of more than 40 women wearing the same outfit in different colors (a stretch tunic pencil sheath dress from Homeyee):

"I bought today's dress on Amazon for $23! Someone posted a link to it on our broadcast meteorologist group Facebook page and it got REALLY popular," she wrote on Facebook, along with the collage.

"More (than) 50 of us purchased the dress, so if you travel and watch the news, you might see something familiar...," she wrote.

The post was subsequently picked up by BuzzFeed.

As Charlotte, N.C., meteorologist Lyndsay Tapses told the site of the dress' appeal, "This dress had all of those qualities we look for," style and comfort and polish and sleeves, "but the price was the major selling point."

When reached by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Karen Minton said she did not own the dress, "but it looks nice and love the price!"
