Barbie doll was recently a target of severe criticism for giving wrong beauty ideal to small girls. Her body measurements are often claimed to be completely unrealistic and “alien-like” if projected to real life dimensions. Different sources are presenting various size conversions, including such unbelievable numbers as 16-inch waist of 32FF bra size. Are Barbie body proportions really that extreme or not?
Barbie doll short bio
Let’s take a look on those issues. First, there were slight changes in doll proportions over the time and what looks like a small difference on a tiny doll, it’s huge difference once you multiply it to real life size. In fact, the only size consistent through Barbie history is the height – the doll is eleven and half inches tall. Older vintage barbies have 5 1/2″ around bust, 3 1/2″ around waist, and 5″ around hips. More modern figures have these sizes 5″ (bust), 3 1/2″ (waist), and 5 1/4″ (hips). There are also some special editions like Silkstone & New Retro Barbies that have again different measurements.
