About Journey Girls®
As the name suggests, the Journey Girls® are a group of friends who travel the world together. Each doll has their own unique leadership skills and way that she helps her friends along their adventures. Journey Girls® were formerly the private label 18-inch doll of Toys “R” Us stores, but were moved by the company to being sold primarily on Amazon in July of 2019.
Journey Girls® Features:
The Ultimate Pattern Collection for Journey Girls®
Looking to make cute clothes designed to fit your Journey Girls® doll? Our collection of sewing patterns for these unique dolls includes all the wardrobe staples you're looking for, from classics like jeans and t-shirts, to fun skirts and fancy dresses.
Journey Girls® Measurements
While the Journey Girls® doll is 18-inches tall, she has different proportions and measurements compared to an 18-inch American Girl® doll. The main differences between the two dolls are that the Journey Girls® have a slimmer cloth torso than the AG dolls. This means that Journey Girls® pants and skirts are quite a bit smaller than ones made to fit 18-inch American Girl® dolls. The Journey Girls®, A Girl For All Time®, and American Girl® dolls are pictured above to show that the three dolls are different enough in size to all require different sized clothing and shoes, but are similar enough to be styled together with the same scale of props and furniture.
Get the Pattern: Ready to make a t-shirt for your Journey Girls® doll? Our FREE trendy t-shirt pattern is for you. This easy to follow PDF pattern guides you through each step with illustrated step-by-step pictures! Have fun using a variety of knit fabrics or even your outgrown tees upcycled to make adorable doll clothes!

i am drawn to kelsey. i dont know if its the secrets we keep or the chemistry in her eyes.but i feel her presence as soon as i enter the room.all i know is that she has changed my life forever…..
yall crazy. it’s a doll…….
I think Kyla is the prettiest. The olive skin really makes the doll look beautiful.
I think these dolls are beautiful! I am drawn to Kyla, though ……. perhaps because we share an artistic personality. Kindred spirits! :)
I’m a big fan of the Kelsey doll and purchased the Journey Girls in Australia version of her before Toys R Us closed. I like her best because she has an inquisitive yet calm expression on her face. I also like that she has long hair that allows me to dress her up in all sorts of ways.
I like Mikaella because she reminds me of my sister.
Kelsey is my favorite. I can’t resist her red hair and green eyes.
I love Kelsey she reminds me of my little red head granddaughter! <3
I think I’ll say Mikaella. The strawberry blond and blue eyes. They are all quite pretty and it was difficult to pick just one. Close seconds were Kyla and Kelsey. But Meredith has a real sweet face too.
They are all beautiful, but my favorite is Mikaella. I love the color of her hair and her face is so sweet.
I haven’t tried the journey dolls but they sure look cute. Kyla seems to have similar interests.
My favorites are Dana, Mikaella and Ilee. There beautiful dolls.
I love Kelsey and her red hair.
I like Meredith. Her blonde hair and blue eyes are like my granddaughter’s. And she is very health conscious like Meredith.
Kelsey is my favorite because of the hair color and my Irish heritsge.
My favorites are Kyla and Chavonne. They’re so pretty and i cant decide between the two.
I like Callie because she looks like my own daughters!
Kyla because I am also a photographer.
Love kyla. She has beautiful “skin”
I love them all but I sure like Kayla
I love Ilee because she looks just like my granddaughter & has a playful pink streak in her hair just like the whimsical flair my granddaughter would do! My granddaughters are the reason I started make doll clothes!
my favorite is klya
I really like Meredith, she looks just like my twin granddaughters.
Today it’s Kelsey, yesterday it was Dana, who knows who it will be tomorrow…I love them all!
I’m not sure which is my favourite. They’re all cute. Kyla is quite pretty, but Kelsey’s freckles are adorable.
I love Kyla. She looks like my granddaughter Kayla
Kyla really is my favorite. Love those brown eyes, and her skin tone is beautiful.
They are all beautiful, but for some reason Meredith just pulls at my heart strings.
I like Chavonne Sheba energy to give herself a future. Very pretty.
I like Mikaella; she’s cute!
I don’t have a favorite. They are all pretty.
I am captived by Jordanna. So few dolls have hazel eyes. That makes her very special.
My favorite is Kelsey — love her beautiful auburn hair.
I think Kyla is prettiest! They’re all gorgeous though.
These Journey Girls dolls are all beautiful and so difficult to choose a favorite. Kyla looks the most like my youngest granddaughter. Winning her would be lovely.
I like all the Journey Girls, but my favourite is Dana, I like her kind and sweet smile, and that she loves animals.
I think I like Meredith the best, because she has similar interests to me. It would be great for young girls to learn about staying fit and healthy without obsessing to the point where it is unhealthy.
Love Meredith and Kyla. Merediths beautiful long blonde hair reminds me of my 7 year old granddaughter. Love the sweet expression on Kyla.
They’re all so pretty it’s hard to pick a favorite! I’m partial to redheads though, so I’ll have to go with Kelsey.
Kyla is my favorite!
Beautiful.
Kyla is my favorite! Being a brunette all my life I always go for the brunette! She is very natural looking.
Kayla is my favorite Journey girl because she fits attractively between the light skinned blonde and the darker complected black haired dolls.
Kyla is my favorite – her hair looks more natural.
Wow, of course I had heard of these dolls before, but I’ve never really “explored” them. They have really pretty faces!! Hard to choose a favorite, but I’m going to go with Chavonne.
Mikaella is my favorite doll! I love her blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair! She is so beautiful! 😍
Well, I have never even seen a ‘Journey Girl’, but I would LOVE to have one AND make her my favorite! 😉. From this group, I like Jordanna the best. I love formal attire.
These dolls are all absolutely lovely, but my favorite would have to be Kyla because she is an artistic photographer and I love her style.
I like Kelsey, because I need a red head in my collection. And my granddaughter can play with her as Meredith as the Disney character.
Never too old for dolls, I have been refurbishing when i find them at the thrift stores….Kyla would be my Favorite….ty
Kyla is my favorite – she has a serene look to her.

I found my Meredith doll at a Goodwill a few years ago. I’ve purchased several patterns for her from Pixie Faire and they’re delightful and easy to use. You should try them!!
