Thread: Wings/skirt idea from Barbie?

Hi everybody! Barbie isn't my hero or anything though oh man, I saw a commercial yesterday that got me thinking! This particular doll has wings that convert to a skirt! Even this little goth girl thought it was a cool idea. Wings down=skirt, wings up=well, wings! ..l;, The possibilities are endless, really, and it would be simple to do. Has anyone seen this done? Ever?

The button on my back that unfurls the wings would be kind of difficult to engineer, however!..l;,..l;,

Asmahan wore something like that when she was here in Dallas. There is a video on youtube. I don't know how to post a video. You can look up Asmahan - Nile Group 2009 - drum solo. It's a red dress.

the 'pleated' skirts

I wish I had a Barbie grow ray. Some of that dolls outfits are super cute!

If you combined this Nagwa dress with these armband Isis wings, I think you'd have your costume...

Shakira had a similar dress for a live performance. Notice the wings in action toward the end of the clip:
