Sabrina Conrad's BWH is around 92/43/113 - 32D
2 years ago
So, I went and bought all 4 volumes for Sabrina Online from Amazon. And, I adored it!
Well... I got about 10 years in, when I had one of those manic moments. And, I found myself asking: what are the BWH (Bust, Waist, and Hip) measurements for these characters?
... It's a dumb question, I know.
Well... Google utterly failed to provide an answer. So I told myself: I'll just calculate them. "It shouldn't be hard," I told myself.
So, I got about 2 characters in. And found: It's a lot harder than it feels like it should be.
So to tell the tale:
Things started out promising enough. I found some character reference sheets on the web, made by Mr. Schwartz himself.
Take 1:
So, I looked up the height of Sabrina (it's listed in the first volume as 5'5" -- or about 165cm for you sciency types).
got out an image editor, and took some measurements (obviously, since we're taking the numbers from the front, we will treat all sides of the character as circular ... even though humans are more ovular in shape)
And got some measurements:
height: ~424px
bust: 59px(23cm)x3.14=72cm/ 28inches
underbust: 46px(18cm)x3.14=56cm/ 22inches
Waist: 38px(15cm)x3.14=46cm/ 18inches
hips: 93px(36cm)x3.14=113cm/ 44inches
Bra Size: 26C
At this point, I'm feeling pretty confident in my work. But then...
I put it in a Body Visualizer only to get an error telling me that the shape wasn't healthy (a good sign it wasn't a reasonable number, either).
... shoot...
Take 2:
Maybe if we tweak the numbers just a bit:
90?(35cm)x3.14=110cm/ 43inches?
Well... it gives me a shape.. But, the hips look odd, and the rest of the figure is way too scrawny.
... ugh...
I scratched my head for a while, and then came to the conclusion that one of the following things must be going wrong (or maybe all of them).
1) Sabrina has one foot roughly in front of the other. She likes to show off her curves, it seems... This means that one hip will appear bigger than the other.
2) Sabrina is a cartoon character. Because of the volume of work necessary to draw your average cartoon, simplification and stream lining in the designs are basically a necessity... as such, the model is "not to scale", if you will.
3) I'm measuring all the wrong points (doubtful, I got some articles on line about how to do this... but it cannot be ruled out.)
Well... Let's try re-measuring with some of the above in mind...
Take 3:
OK, I think Sabrina's right leg is the one stepping forward... I'll take the distance to her left hip, and multiply by two... Also, I'll try to be VERY careful as I measure the pixel values...
And we enter our new numbers into the visualizer:
Height 442px (165cm)
Inseam 175px(65cm)
B 60px(22cm)x3.14=70cm
U 47px(18cm)x3.14=55cm
W 37px(14cm)x3.14=43cm
H 88px(33cm)x3.14=103cm
... She still looks scrawny, and the visualizer is making her hips look rather oddly square...
... arg...
Take 4:
Time to use trial and error, and pray we are in the ballpark.
But first, we need to try to get a ballpark...
I'm fairly confident her hips should be somewhere between 100 and 110 centimeters (So, I'll hold that number). And, I'm also confident her Bust should be about 4 inches more than her underbust (about a D cup... although not all manufacturers are consistent about this).
"But what should her underbust and waist be?" I asked myself.
Looking up Waist-Height ratio, I see that underweight would be anything below a 0.4 ratio. Since Sabrina does look a bit petit. I think her waist should be somewhere in the ballpark of 0.35 to 0.4 (58cm - 66cm).
As I scale down her waist to the 0.35 ratio, I see the visualizer guess a Bust of 82cm... that looks -- close -- I think I can use that for the underbust, and I can experiment within the range above to find a waist number that looks close (to my eyes).
... ummm... I don't know if I trust this methodology....
... It looks...
... believable...
So my guess would be:
Sabrina : 91/57/110 - 32D
.... But wait, there is a 3D model up here...
Too bad I can't figure out how to actually use it....
Still, I can use it to check my answer.
... nope...
Take 5:
Let's go back to our first numbers, and guess and check...
OK. I think this is pretty close...
Final answer:
92/43/113 - 32D
