Here we see a mirror image of a Bratz doll wearing a handmade outfit. The figure on the left wears a pink tank top with a 3-tier ruffled skirt; the figure on the right wears a purple tank top with the same 3-tier ruffled skirt. These two tank tops are in fact the same tank top, but it has been sewn to be a reversible garment.
