The easiest way I can switch back and forth is to scroll through the image with only about half of it visible. If I look at the top part I can more easily see it light blue and gold
And if I look at the bottom half I see blue/black and have a really hard time changing my perception to see the light blue and gold.

For those who saw it as white/gold first and then switched to blue/black, it could be because knowing what colour it actually is your brain has more context for the image and you see the correct colours.. maybe those that can switch back and forth have a lot of experience with optical illusions and such and have more practice changing perceptions?
The other illusion from one of the links shows how colour perception changes based on context; the coloured circle and the square they are on are identical colours.
EDIT: If I look at the above in just the right way I can see both circles the same colour, but as soon as I shift my eyes or even my attention they look different again. EDIT: Lol I wonder if I'm putting one circle in one of my blind spots so my brain is filling in the colours so I see them the same.

I saw this on my phone about an hour ago, and I swore up and down it was white and gold. But I looked at this picture on the computer and let my eyes go unfocused and it changed to blue and black as I watched it.
People found the dress on Amazon and have been posting reviews:

The good: Works equally well as formal or business casual attire.
The bad: Carves a crooked path through perceptual reality and leaves behind it a wake of confusion and existential crises. Also unforgiving on the hips.
"Perfect outfit for a life of crime," by Angela:
Robbed a bank in this dress. Nobody could agree on a proper description of me. Sketch artist's head exploded. Got away. Fantastic.

So, it was white and gold. Now it is blue and black, I thought you were all on crack. Has anyone had it switch back to the original colour they saw it as? Either way?
This whole thing is a gigantic troll job that has taken over Twitter unlike anything since Sharknado or the Red Wedding. Congrats to whoever got the troll job started because this is pretty amazing.

It's fun because I've asked about five couples so far, and 5/5 each person had a different view from their partner. I wonder what that means?
And FTR, I see blue and black. No matter what brightness, tech, or angle. It's blue and black for me. I cannot for the life of me get it to look white and gold.

This white-balance illusion hit so hard because it felt like someone had been playing through the Monty Hall scenario and opened their chosen door, only to find there was unexpectedly disagreement over whether the thing they'd revealed was a goat or a car.

Same here, I can't even fathom how someone see's a white and gold dress, I got no where close to seeing that. It seems crazy to me that so many people can't separate the light of the environment from the color of the material.
White and Gold when I look initially but Blue and Black when I think about it. It looks either like a White and Gold dress in shade or a Black and Blue dress in a faded, poor quality pic.
This debate is the same as when people think the retro Flames jersey is a different colour red than their other jerseys. Like the video in the previous page showed, it's just colour constancy affecting how you perceive the blue. How people don't just see it as a light shade of blue I don't understand however, No matter what people do to the picture I can never see a just pure white dress, there's always some shade of blue for me.

I saw white and gold this morning, same thing when I got into the office, checked back later and still saw white and gold. Then when photon broke up the image I saw black and blue and I've kept seeing it that way since.
It's so obviously blue and black that I'm convinced the white/gold people are 100% trolling.
This simply has to be the case. Yes a portion of the dark fabric reflects a slight yellow/warm tinge to it. But anyone claiming the blue is "white" is full of ****
