160-169 cm
Dolls with a body height between 160 and 169 cm are about the size of a typical Central European woman. From an anthropometric perspective, a German woman is on average 165 cm tall (Microcensus 2005/Destatis 2009). About 27 percent of all German women are between 160 and 164 cm tall; about 29% have a body size between 165 and 169 cm (SOEP 2006).
If you are looking for a doll as close to life as possible, you will find it in this segment. Since these dolls have similar proportions as human women, they also have the largest range of clothing, lingerie, shoes and matching jewelery. Dolls with a body size between 160 and 169 cm are also best suited as shop window dolls and for posing, as their body dimensions harmonize perfectly with common equipment such as armchairs, tables or accessories. These dolls can also be used in medical teaching as well as the training of physiotherapists, naturopaths and health care workers.
Due to their body size, these dolls also have a comparatively high weight between about 35 and 45 kg; they are relatively difficult to handle and should be kept in an upright position, if possible.
