Reshaping breasts on the net.


 
Barbie in US Culture: While many critics of Barbie claim that she has unrealistic breasts, her chest circumference is actually slightly less than average. When Barbie is scaled to a height of 5’10", the average height of runway models in the United States, her measurements are 35"-20"-32.5". These measurements were compared to those of the average 1988 United States Army recruit, taken from 2,208 (predominantly caucasian) women. These physically fit women averaged 5’4" tall with measurements of 35.7"-31"-38.1" Thus, Barbie’s breasts are smaller, but her miniscule waist accentuates them. When Barbie is scaled to 5’4" tall, her measurements would be 32"-17"-28", which equates to clinical anorexia.
