Super Mario Bros. is a [classic game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-snake-game) and just about everyone has had an addiction to it (I know I did.) However, most fashions made with the Super Mario Bros. image are for men. The Vintage Doctors are fixing that with the Super Mario Bros. corset.

The Super Mario Bros. corset by Vintage Doctors is a colorful combination of images of Mario and Luigi along with feminine bows and polka dots.

**Implications** - The Super Mario Brothers Corset is the perfect addition to pretty much any closet and works equally as a wearable piece or a [gag gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-and-godiva). The Vintage Doctors have nailed it on the head with this one.
