What Barbie Would Look Like If She Had The Body Of An Average 19-Year-Old American
Illustrator Nickolay Lamm has now taken his investigation of Barbie's unlikely physical appearance a step further.
He extrapolated Barbie's body size, if she were human, and compared it side-by-side with the average body proportions of a 19-year-old American.
"I feel that this is as close as you can get to a real life representation of a Barbie-proportioned woman standing next to an average sized woman," he tells us.
The average 19-year-old woman was modeled using these measurements, as described by the CDC:
- 64.29″ height
- 33.62″ waist
- 14.09″ upper arm length
- 14.45″ upper leg length
- 20″ head circumference
- 15″ neck circumference
Barbie, at 1/6 scale, would have the following measurements, Lamm — who also blogs at MyVoucherCodes.co.uk — believes:
- 69″ height?
- 36″ bust?
- 18″ waist?
- 33″ hips
- ?22″ head circumference
- ?9″ neck circumference
