How to Match Dollhouse Doll Size and Dollhouse
Scale
Match doll and dollhouse sizes by comparing the dollhouse
doll to the height of the room and by checking how the doll
appears to fit in the furniture.
1. |
Understand that there are two types of
dollhouses - miniature and toy dollhouses. |
2. |
Be aware that miniatures are made exactly
to scale, and everything in the dollhouse dolls should
match the scale. Generally, these are collector's items.
|
3. |
Know that toy dollhouses are not made to
scale. |
4. |
Know, too, that the simplest way to match
a doll and dollhouse is to place the doll in the dollhouse
and see whether it looks like it's the right size - with
at least several inches between the doll's head and ceiling.
|
5. |
Lay the dollhouse dolls down on a bed in
the dollhouse. The doll should fit comfortably on the
bed and not hang over the edges or appear lost in it. |
6. |
Realize that a child will not be hugely
particular about having everything in the dollhouse exactly
the same scale. |
7. |
Make sure the dollhouse dolls
fit through any doorways and that the doll appears to
fit comfortably in any chairs. When seated at a table,
the table should be between waist and shoulder level.
|
8. |
Recognize that, in general, dollhouses
dolls are made in miniature size, in which the dolls are
only several inches high; small size, in which the dolls
are 4 to 6 inches tall; and fashion size, in which the
house is made for Barbie-size dollhouse dolls. |
Tips:
If you are trying to buy a dollhouse dolls
for a specific set of dollhouse dolls, bring the dolls with
you when you shop.
If you are choosing dollhouse dolls, measure the ceiling
height and bring a bed or chair with you for easy comparison.
With a 1-inch-scale dollhouse, each inch corresponds to 1
foot of a real house or piece of furniture. Half-inch scale
is smaller, using 1/2 inch per foot.
