When we were in grade school, we used to wrap our Barbies in toilet paper dyed with food coloring. The resulting effect looked like one of the cooler offerings from Matthew Williamson, in a teeny size and without the beading. Making them was a favorite Sunday activity.
Now it seems homemade Barbie outfits have gotten more sophisticated, as the knitting blog Good Natured Ribbing shows a tiny sheath dress that looks suspiciously like a favored piece from Chanel's resort collection - originally worn by Sasha and later shown off by Marion Cotillard on the red carpet.
It's a great outfit, but it makes us a little jealous -
Barbie getting wardrobes from Zac Posen and Anna Sui is pretty envious, but Barbie getting her own shot at a Chanel limited-edition cocktail dress?
We crave that more than we want her scary, perfect little waist...
