The image has been viewed over 200,000 times with many peeps taking to the internet to mercilessly deride the design's unfortunate resemblance to a period stain.

Call me the queen of period fashion, but this doesn't really look like a period skirt. Modern placenta? Yes. pic.twitter.com/KTGUNiySTg

I'm inclined to argue that this skirt could well be the safest way to wear a white pencil shirt for menstruating women. Perhaps JCPennys intended to do us a service by creating a secure way for women to satisfy their sartorial needs even during menstruation without fear of the dreaded period stain. I mean at least it's not on the back, right?
