If you've ever wondered what to do with your old Barbie dolls, making them into bras could be a fun DIY project for a Sunday afternoon...or to save you time, you could just buy a pre-made Barbie bra from Etsy shop DefeatWasicu.
Sarah Bellum from DefeatWasicu has taken the heads off Barbie dolls and put them on a 36B cup bra. The heads still have the hair in tact, making it very difficult to wear anything over it -- the face imprints on your clothes would probably attract a few stares as well. According to the shop owner however, this bra isn't supposed to be worn with clothes on top, instead just a pair of high-waisted pants are the perfect complement.
As decapitated Barbie dolls are really scary, this could also make for a creative Halloween costume.
