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.

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!

My favorite Journey doll is Dana. But I like all of them.they are all cute.
I like them all, can’t choose just one.
The whole concept is truly wonderful! Kelsey would be my favorite. She shares interests with my granddaughter 😍
I remember seeing Jordana for the first time in Toys R Us. She is my favorite and her dress contributes to that.
My favorite is Ilee. I have several of the dolls and love them all. I find them very easy to sew for and love their faces.
They are all very cute, buy I love the glasses on Dana, so I’d say she’s my top pick!
Kyla is my favorite. She has such a beautiful personality.
I love Kelsey’s long, wavy, red hair.
These are beautiful dolls and I would love to own any of them! Kyla looks like one of my daughters and I love her brown eyes.
Kelsey is definitely my favourite with her auburn hair, green eyes and outdoors look!
I love all of the Journey Girls dolls. They have such sweet faces; and I love how they have a vinyl upper torso. They look good in every style outfit too; which is a great bonus. I think Kyla is beautiful because her hair is styled so pretty and full, and her little face looks sweet as can be. Her skin tone is rich too; which makes me sure she would be a delight to sew clothes a some special little girl to enjoy. I love these contest. Many thanks to Pixie Faire and good luck to everyone!
Kelsey if my favorite with her beautiful red hair and green eyes. I absolutely LOVE redheads!
Kyla and Dana are my favorites! I like the torso plate of the Journey Girls, they look great in sleeveless tops!
I like the coolring combinations of Kelsey and Dana. It would be great to wub tis doll in order to have model for sizing in sewing the outfits. Thank youl
Kyla is my favorite and she looks Native American to me. I sew doll wardrobes for Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and would love to win her!
My favorite is Kyla as I love her hair and smile!
I actually like Kyla the most, she looks a lot like a little girl I used to know in the foster system. Not a perfect match, but close. Sadly the girl got moved on and I can’t see her anymore, but the doll just strongly reminded me of her so she’s the one I’m most drawn to.
I love Kelsey though, I love her colouring!
I really like Kelsey and her red hair. It’s not to often that dolls have red hair and it makes them cute and different.
Wow! I have a little cousin whose name is Kayla and I know she would love to have this doll. I know she has a blond one but to have this one would be very special to her…I love these dolls, and alter the patterns just a bit to make them fit these dolls…they are a tiny bit slimmer and their feet are narrower, so it makes a bit more work but my little cousin appreciates the doll clothes I make for her…she takes them to school for show and tell….makes me proud !!! Her little friends are jealous. Thanks for all you do for us and thanks for the pictures and descriptions and Names of the Journey Girls…. Much appreciated.
We really like Dana. Animals are always a favourite with us, so she “wins” hands down!
I would have to choose the Kyla doll.

I’m speaking for my daughter here. I asked her who is her favorite and she said “Chavonne because she likes music just like me, I like her outfits and she is the doll that I have”. We hope to get her another to keep Chavonne company!

I’m so happy to hear that the Journey girls didn’t disappear. I have Dana and love her. Kyla is the one I would love to have next. Thank you for making this available to us.
I’m particularly fond of Mikaela, as my DD and her hubby surprised me with her in 2015, but I’d really like to also add Ilee and Chavonne to my collection, which includes Kyla, Meredith, Dana, Kelsey & Callie.
Kelsey is my favorite. Love her red hair.
I like the fact that they have vinyl upper bodies so they look better with dresses and tops that are cut lower. They are all cute but I would have to choose Kyla because she looks like my granddaughter.
I think Dana is my favorite. I love her smile and with those glasses on she looks so smart as well. I also am a reader, so I think she would be so fun to dress.
I like Dana because I love how she looks as well as her glasses. I also like Ilee because of the pretty streak in her hair.
Kelsey..cute hat and Red hair
I love Kelsey, because of her red hair.
I love Kelsey love her red hair.
