Yeah if you saw my hips you'd probably laugh. I can be any weight them they stay the same but I've always hoped they would.

Even the flat chested women are top heavy in my family they just have big shoulders instead lol. But lucky you .

But not the to the extreme of a girdle! Two very different garments, which target very different areas. A corset focuses mainly on the waist and bustline, while a girdle focuses on minimizing the hips and tummy.

I always thought Barbie's ribcage was disturbingly large and odd-shaped, but her actual breasts perched on top of it were relatively small. Then there were those massive strange hips on top of the freakishly long legs and teeny tiny permanently high-heeled feet. And don't even get me started about the T-rex arms! What's up with those? Permanently bent as if she was about to apply a sharp karate-chop to poor emasculated Ken's shoulder...
I think I was an odd child. >_>

I had the hips of an 11-year-old... until childbirth widened them. I've got big knockers too (32DDD), albeit lower-slung than in my 20's.

You eat 3 course meals 3 days a week? That's cool but I try to eat roughly 18-21 meals a week

BTW, some sites say that Barbie's waist size is like an 18 inch waist. Hmmm, a bust line 21 to 24 inches larger than your waist? Without surgery? IMHO, VERY unlikely.

I believe that you may know a few women with a 22 to 23 waist but do they also have a 39 FF or 42 G bust size? That is why so many people are disagreeing with you when you keep saying that it is "common" for skinny women to have "Barbie like figures".
Do you know how bra sizes work? Because Barbie's dimensions wouldn't make her a 39FF. A 42G is almost 50 inches in circumference.

More appropriately the bra size would be about 32D to something like a 32G depending on the source.

I know many skinny girls with bigger bust than mine so definitely possible some people hold their weight in the bust.

I could name like 10 celebrities right off that have them. It's common among skinny girls it just is.
You've proved our point. Those women have boob implants. Amy Childs even says she wishes she hadn't gotten them. Those proportions aren't "pretty typical" at all.

No, it's not average for many skinny women. Most skinny women aren't top-heavy. That's an unusual feature in a thin woman, and is usually only achieved through surgery.

My mom always said Barbie was fat for that reason. Actually. I always thought her back was big as well.
