Hello, This may sound like a strange question, but I'm TOTALLY serious.
Does anyone know what the ratio for a barbie-type doll (11 and 1/2 inches tall) would be to an adult human (preferably a 5'5" woman)? I'm terrible at math!
Also, ignoring the crazy waist and bust size, if I wanted to take a crochet barbie-type doll pattern and convert it to an adult woman (preferably 5'5"), what would I multiply everything by? (I guess that would depend on the ratio :)
Like I said, I know it sounds strange, but this is VERY important, if anyone could give me their two cents!
Thanks so much!

It would be easier to find a similar pattern at your local arts and craft store... but if you must do it this way.... here you go. So 5'5" is equal to 65 inches divided by 11.5 is 5.65.... or more, cuz Barbie wear short skirts that wouldn't look good on 90% of our population.
So I would think that you would take everything you have and multiply it by 5.65 to get the length. I don't know about the width though... use the same type of thought process.... it may not be exact... but if will get you on the right track. Good luck.

11 and 1/2 inches = 11.5 inch
5'5" = 65 inch
So the ratio = 65/11.5
= 5.65
So multiply the size of the barbie doll by 5.65
for example if you measure 3 inches in barbie doll it should correspond to about 3*5.65 = 16.95inch nearly 17 inch in human counterpart

now this isin't exactly right but i did hear this before on some talk show thay were saying how riduculous and impossible the sizes would be if barbie were real...she would be 7 feet tall with a bust of 44 inches and a waist of about 13 inches.....crazy!!! but you could google your question and probably find the exact answer
