If you've ever wondered what to do with your old [Barbie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-days-of-halloween-set) 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.
