150-159 cm
Dolls with a body height between 150 and 159 cm are about as large as typical Asian women or small European women. From an anthropometric viewpoint, a German woman was an average of 156 cm (Siegmund 2010) in the 19th century. Nowadays, about four percent of the German women are 150 to 154 cm tall; about 13 percent have a body size between 155 and 159 cm (SOEP 2006).
In the past three and a half years, a body size of around 1.50 meters was the statistic normal size of a woman: her average body size was about 152 cm in 2000 BC and grew continuously to 155 cm. Ancient statues and ideal body proportions are therefore oriented to this body size.
Dolls with a body size between 150 and 159 cm have the constructive advantage of still being comparatively lightweight; this allows weight-saving skeletal constructions and makes these dolls to easily manageable synthetic companions.
