At Pixie Faire, we offer doll clothes patterns for 18 inch dolls such as American Girl Dolls, Madame Alexander Dolls, Our Generation Dolls, My Life As, and Springfield Dolls. We also offer doll clothes patterns for 18 Inch Journey Girls, 18 inch BFC, Ink. Dolls 18 inch Kidz N Cats, 18 inch Gotz, and 21 inch Karito Kids Dolls specifically sized for each doll type. For more doll measurements and reveiws scroll down to the bottom of the post and click on the doll brand/type.
Here is an Illustration showing the body measurements for several of these types of dolls with a picture of them side by side for clarity. This first set of images lists basic measurements in a few places. To add clarification to the chart, the waist is measured at the side tag, hips measured around the largest part of the bottom, chest measured right under the arms, arms measured to the wrist, and legs measured at the inseam to the floor.
Here is a picture with 4 different American Girl Dolls and their slight variations in measurements. Mia is the biggest doll that we have and Molly is the smallest and has a slightly longer body than all of the other AG’s that we have. Most AG dolls that you are sewing for are made by Mattel, if a customer has a Pre Mattel doll they usually know it and know that they are a bit Chubbier. The Pre Mattel doll that we have doesn’t seem to be that much bigger, but most are. The LJC Patterns have been fitted to the Mia Doll’s measurements.
Here are a few updated charts with more indepth side by side measurements. First chart is for 18 inch dolls similar to American Girl body type and fit. (right click to save the image to print it out for future reference, or view larger on your home computer). We recommend using these measurements as a guide for determining which patterns might work for a doll you have that we don't specifically design pattern for. The illustration shows where each measurement has been taken. Err on the side of a bit larger and make modifications from that pattern.
This next chart shows several other types of dolls' measurements that we have specifically designed pattern for here at Pixie Faire. The shaded columns identify similarly sized dolls. These patterns may be a close fit for both dolls.
The next chart shows measurements for a variety of 13"-18" dolls that we have patterns for at Pixie Faire.

I have a large colony of Sasha dolls. My Kidz N Cats dolls can wear Sasha patterns which have been lengthened 2". The AGFAT pattern for a ’60s wrap dress fits Sasha very well. Does anybody know for sure if other patterns designed for AGFAT would fit Sasha? How about shoes? Many of my Sashas are boys. I would very much like to see Sashas in the comparison charts. I like your patterns enormously. So do my dolls.
I love your website, I have a problem my grand kids have a barbie you can be anything doll, it comes with a regular size barbie and a 4 inch doll, they want me to make an outfit for the smaller one, I don’t want to disappoint them. Do you have any suggestions? chest and waist 2.5, hips 2.75
I noticed that the 18" Gotz doll is mentioned. I have just gotten a Gotz “Happy Kidz” doll and it is 19.5" tall. I did not see any mention of the taller Gotz doll. They do have several different sizes. Isn’t this doll considered to be in the same group as the general group similar to the American Girl? I have not done measurements yet but I do plan on making clothing that is interchangeable with the 18" size doll.
Does anyone else have this Happy Kidz doll? Is there any difficulty with using the 18" size patterns with a little adjustment for height with the 19.5" doll?
I’m looking for measurements for Bitty Baby dolls. Where could I find these measurements?
