According to Teen Ink a standard Barbie doll is 11.5 inches tall, so at a 1/6th scale, she would stand five feet nine inches. Her chest would measure thirty-six inches, her waist, eighteen inches, and her hips would be thirty-three inches. she would weigh one hundred and ten pounds. Therefore, being thirty-five pounds underweight, lacking the 17 to 22 percent body fat required for women to menstruate, and she would suffer from back problems due to not having enough strength to support her largely proportioned chest.
Is this really what you want young girls to aspire for?
