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 think Kyla is the prettiest. I love her hair, skin, and eye color combo, plus the fullness and body of her hair.
I have to choose Kyla, as she reminds me of my granddaughter. All of the dolls are just gorgeous!
Giovanna this is the doll that is absolutely beautiful.
Her mask and gloves will make any little girl jump for joy
All of these dolls are gorgeous. I cannot choose just one so I will choose Kyla for my granddaughter Kyle. Thank you Liberty Jane and Pixie Faire for a chance to win one of these lovely dolls.
I was so glad to see Kyla is the giveaway doll. She has such beautiful curls and sweet expression. My daughter is a photographer, so that makes Kyla even more special to me.
Jordonna is my favorite. Her blond hair and hazel eyes remind me of my Granddaughter Sarin.
Kyla is my personal favorite as she reminds me of my grand daughter, Liara! I would so enjoy knitting several sets for her doll with a sweater, skirt, mitts, hat, and socks for her school in the winter time… Thanks so much, Deb.
I like Kyla best. Her beauty is striking.
Dana, she is so adorable with those glasses! Thank you Liberty Jane Clothing and Pixie Faire!
My favorite is Kelsey. She is like me, learning new things is my interest. Great doll.
Mikaella is my favorite as she looks the most similar to my granddaughter.
I love Kyla and Kelsey. Kelsey has such cute freckles and Kyla’s skin is so pretty! Of course they are great influences for my granddaughter s too!
Meredith was the first one
My favorite Journey Girls Doll is Meredith. I love blonde hair and blue eyes.
Kayla is my favorite. I love her coloring and her wavy brown hair
I love the Kyla doll best. I think she has the sweetest face on a doll and I love her beautiful curly brown hair. I didn’t realize these dolls were so affordable.
Hi, I never saw Ilee before. I think she is my favorite! They have a lot of new ones and they are all sweet….Thanks!
Kyla is my favorite Journey Girl Doll. Her beautiful brown curly hair is just too cute.
I’ve never heard of Journey Girl Dolls before, my granddaughter is 5 and just got her first baby alive doll last Christmas, her great grandmother in America wants to get her an American doll, so I was learning about them and found the beautiful Journey Dolls here instead,
They really are beautiful I think I need one haha, but the Kyla would be perfect for my granddaughter as her Grandmother on her fathers sides name is Kyla, she calls her KK,
I like Mikaella. She’s so pretty.
I like Kelsey.
I love them all but today Giovanna caught my eye. She reminds me of the fact that it is so much fun to dress up and go to a special celebration and of my granddaughters dressing up in my party dresses😀
I like Ilee & hope to own her someday.
The reason why I don’t have a journey girl yet – is I have a difficult time in choosing just one. Kelsey is cute; but Kyla looks like she has more fun.
I like Dana and Chavonne the best!
Dana is my favorite but I like all the girls.
My daughter would love to have any of the Journey Girls. This would be a great addition to her doll collection.
I like Kelsey the most. It’s because of her gorgeous Auburn hair and green eyes. I never could resist that combination!
I would loce to win a journey girl doll. But with years of entries i have never won anything. So many nm people wanting a chance. But i love that some lucky person gets blessed each week. Maybexsomeday ill ge lucky. You guys are great and i buy almost every pattern you come out with. Thanks for the fun of being apart of vf thiscdoll world!
Beautiful dolls, wish the clothes for American Girl were not huge on this doll.
All are beautiful! I’d be honored to own any of them!
After 40+ some years I have treated myself to a new sewing machine. I used to make little dresses for my daughter. Now, my newest passion as I have reached the age of 75 is to make doll clothes for my little Granddaughter to make lifestyle scenarios with her dolls. Sometimes, they are having fashion shows, and other times they are involved in careers and leisure. Since her Dad’s name is Michael, I think that Mikaella would be my doll of choice.
I love them all but dang Kyla stole my heart. She is so cute and would make a lovely addition to any doll collection.
I love Kyla she has a beautiful complexion and her hair iso soft looking . I think she’d make a good addition to my collection
Ilee reminds me of my granddaughter, but Kayla reminds me of myself when I was little and wanted long hair so much!
love dana, and chavonne.
but, love dana, the animal lover, and her zeal to serve others.
I like Jordanna! But I would love to have Kyla to sew for.
I think Kyla is beautiful.
My favorite is Kelsey – love that red hair!
I like Kyla the best. She has curly hair like me.
I have Dana and would like to get Kelsey, but the price is higher now since Toys R Us is closed.
I would like to have Kyla to!
Callie is my favourite — she’s a dancer!
Kyla is my favorite because I love her long curled dark hair. She also has a very sweet smile.
I don’t have any of these dolls. But, if I picked one it would be Kyla. I love her skin, hair and eye colors – the same as my daughter and one of my granddaughter’s.
Gosh, there are so many cute ones. I like Kyla’s looks the best because I love all that hair. Thanks for the opportunity! Happy stitching!
I like Dana. She looks like me!
All the dolls are pretty but I like Kyla’s hair the best.
Mikaela is my favorite , she looks like my daughter.
Dana! She looks my daughter…or possibly the other way around.
I have a Kelsey doll that I use as a doll clothes model. I wish I had some of the others. To me, these dolls have a gorgeous face. Maybe that is why Simplicity uses them on the covers of their patterns.
My granddaughter would love a doll. I like them all.
I like Kyla the best. It would be a first to own one of these dolls. So cute.
Kyla is my favorite…very sweet face.
My grand daughter has Ilee and she loves her. I really like them all, they are all so pretty! I think my favorites are Kelsey and Mikaella
My favorite is Kyla. She is just beautiful and looks so sweet. When I was a little girl she would have been my best friend.
Dana is the one I like because a smile can’t get any prettier, even if I won her!
Kyla is my favorite! She’s adorable!
I think Chavonne is my favorite. I like the version of the doll with the afro hair style the best. This line of dolls is my favorite for the 18in dolls. I think they are much prettier than the American Girl dolls and the quality is fantastic, particularly their hair.
My daughter loves her Mikaella
I like Kelsey the best. Love her outfit. Chavonne is my second best. Very pretty face.
Marilyn
My favourite would be Dana with her brown straight hair and blue eyes. The glasses finishes the look beautifully.
I love Kyla! I love that she is a photographer! I too, love taking pictures!
Kyla is my favorite even though it was a tough decision. I love her long brown hair and large brown eyes. Her skiin is looks so soft. All this, plus a cute outfit says it all.
I have the old Kelsey with the blue/green headband. I love them all!
Yikes! They are only $35 each with free shipping on Amazon. Why not get more than one. You can have 3 for the same price as 1 American Girl! 👍

If I win Kyla, sewing a wardrobe for her will be a first for me.
Kyla is beautiful! I love them all. I would fill my house with beautiful dolls if I could.
Kyla has been on my wishlist for a long time. My granddaughter has a Bitty Baby with the same coloring, and I hope to use a Kyla to transition her “Kathleen” baby up to a bigger girl as my girl grows up. Kyla is just beautiful. I’ve never seen a Journey Girl other than in photos, but I am very attracted to the way they are made.
I love the red hair of Kelsey. I usually select blonds but Kelsey caught my eye this time.
I don’t have a Journey girl and hadn’t really read about them before, but find Chavonne and Jordonna the most striking. They also share interests with my daughter, fashion and music. Kyla and Kelsey are my next favorites because they are more “girl next door” looking and look like they would “want” to wear clothes more like what I enjoy sewing, vs. my daughter and her love of couture fashion.
The Kyla Doll gets my vote. She is so cute. Thanks Cinnamon fir the awesome giveaways.
Meredith is my favourite. She has the same interests as I do.
My favorite is Callie. i love the name and the fact that she is a dancer
Jordanna is my favorite.
I love how they each have different facial features. Kyla gets my vote
My favorite is Kelsey – love that red hair!
Kyla she is so out going and I have a granddaughter with her hair color and style.
I like ilee best because she looks like my great granddaughter
Dana has always been my favorite. I always love dolls In glasses.
It’s really hard to choose just one. I’m glad Kyla is the giveaway doll – she’s definitely one of my favorites – and Kelsey, too- I love red hair.
I like Kelsey and the story about her loving to read. My youngest daughter taught herself to read by the time she was 3 1/2. I also like her long red hair. My daughter when she was young loved red hair and wished that it was the color of her own hair. So Kelsey reminds me of my daughters early years.
Dana – love the glasses. She could be a scientist.
Kelsey is my favorite. I love her red hair – it reminds me of one of my granddaughters.
I like Callie because she reminds me of a wonderful friend I had when I was in school.
I really like Kelsey red hair is my favorite.
Meredith is my favorite. She reminds me of my granddaughter.
Kyla looks like my granddaughter, and has my daughter’s talents. And I still like to play with dolls.
Kyla is my favorite – she reminds me of my grand daughter . And she has my dad’s obsession as her hobby- can’t beat that .
Each is an individual so it is difficult, but my granddaughter loves Ilee and Chavonne.
Kyla is a little beauty who looks like she might want to make some little girl on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota a fabulous Christmas present!
I’m new to the Journey Girls, and I think they’re all very pretty, but Kyla may be the one I like best! :)
I love Kyla because of her brown hair and eyes. I can relate with her hair and eye color. I love taking pictures of my daughter and her dolls playing. I like Chavonne because of her pretty curly hair.
I think Kyla and Kelsey are my favorites. Jordana is a beautiful one too!
Hard to pick a favorite!
I think Kyla looks sweet.
My favorite is a toss-up between Dana and Kyla. But all of this group of dolls are very pretty. They have beautiful expressions.
All the dolls are lovely but I like Dana and her smooth straight hair.
Kyla is so pretty! I would love to win her. She is my favourite of the bunch.
