18-21 inch Doll Body Measurements
Product Information
We offer doll clothes patterns for 18 inch dolls like American Girl Dolls
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.

what if its a my americangirl doll
My american girl, just like you, historical, girl of the year, or a customized american girl doll usually have the same size of body not to much of a difference, we have 11 dolls and I find their really isn’t much of a difference. Hope this helps. : )
Um, shouldn’t you know that they are all the same size? if you have an AG doll you should know that.
What would the head measurement be for the American Girl dolls and the other similar types of dolls? If you could, take a cloth/fabric tape measure and wrap it around covering the ears a bit, you know, like where you wear a hat and let me know the inches.
Thanks so much for your help.
If you are looking for a wig their size is 11″. Hope this helps. : )

I have the Samantha doll and the patterns seem to be to small.Skinny jeans would not go on,and the cami was to tight. If you make doll clothes to sell how can you know what doll the buyer has. I do love these patterns. Thanks

wondering how the Tonner 21″ play dolls compare to Maru and Friends dolls and the Karito kids dolls for clothing size?
how tall are the ellowyne dolls
Ellowynne Wilde is 16″ tall. She is part of Robert Tonners dolls.
Whatis the foot measurement of the AG doll
The Maplea Girls from Canada have the same measurements as the AG except that their tush is 1″ bigger. They have longer narrow feet that do not fit the AG shoes, but Katito Kids can wear the Maplea shoes beautifully and the shoes are detailed and well made.
Thanks for the info Sarah, this is great to know
I have also noticed that pants JUST fit my Maplelea doll, and they definitely don’t fit into the shoes. I wish someone would publish patterns designed for Maplelea dolls! Especially shoes…:)
can you make more free patterns
ummmm….she has too make her money some how sam….!!!
Thanks for this chart! I am sewing doll clothes for my granddaughters who recently inherited some used American Girl Dolls. I don’t know if they are pre or post Mattel. My son says they have a label saying that they are made in China. My daughter in law says that their waists are 11.5 inches. I was wondering if your patterns would fit their dolls. (Are there any other distinguishing marks that would help me figure out how old their dolls are?)
Thank you for any help.

I don’t know if you’re still curious about this, but all AG dolls made before 1998 have a stamp on the back of the neck that says “Pleasant Company.” After the Mattel buyout, this was changed for all new dolls. I have a 1992 Felicity and the 1996 Girl of Today and they do not have tags–this may be a Mattel thing.
Since the dolls’ bodies are stuffed instead of rigid vinyl, usually the patterns LJC makes work just as well for big-waisted dolls. Just sort of squeeze the dolls and shuffle the stuffing around, or take the heads off (not around kids; it’s creepy to watch!) and take out a little pinch.
Forgot to mention–newer dolls have a neck stamp that says “American Girl,” from what I’ve heard.
Out of curiosity, are they the historical dolls? If so, which characters? That may help narrow down the year of production, as different dolls were released and retired at different times. Doll of Today/Just Like You/My AG were first released in 1994, and the clothes she comes with tend to be updated every 2-3 years.
Our Generation dolls are about the same as American Girl but a little wider
Our Generation (Kaitlyn) :
Chest : 11 1/8″
Waist : 11 1/2″
Hips :12″
Shoulders : 4 3/4″
Arms : 5″
Legs : 7″
Have you considered making for the Kidz n Cats dolls. They’re roughly the size of Magic Attic dolls. You have so many really cute patterns it would be wonderful to have some for the Kidz. There aren’t many patterns out there for them. Here are their rough measurements.
Measurements
8 ¾” chest
8 ½” waist
10” hips
7 ¼” inseam
10 3/8” head circumference
2 ¾” foot sole length
3 ½” around hand
And crotch measurement from top of belly button down between legs and up to small of back measures 6 ½”

I’ll second the request for Kidz n Cats patterns. I love the current styles Liberty Jane has, but it’s just too much work to try adapt a pattern you’ve already paid for.
Me too with the kids n catz. Also Famosa nancy. Measurements coming
Taryn from Maplelea Girls :
Chest : 11 1/4″
Waist : 11 1/8″
Hips : 12 1/4″
Shoulders : 4″
Arms : 5 1/4″
Legs : 7 1/4″
Foot length : 2 7/8″ (long narrow foot)
Thanks I was curious, I sew for AG, SPringfield and was wondering about Maplelea dolls, thanks again. perhaps the shoes I make for Springfield dolls would fit Maplelea dolls as they too are longer and narrower.
Springfield Dolls:
Chest- ~10 1/4″
Waist- ~11″
Hips- ~11 1/2″
Shoulders- ~5 1/2″
Arms- ~5″
Legs- ~6 1/2″
If there is anything wrong with these measurements please let me know.
What is the neck size for Samantha AG? I am making necklaces for my granddaughters Samantha and I don’t have access to the doll. Wrist size would also be helpful. Thank you!
Lily from New berry Dolls from Sears.
Chest – 10.5
Waist – 10.5
Hips – 11
Shoulders – 4.5
Arms – 5
Legs – 6
I have been making some cloths for my granddaughter’s AG doll. Am interested in making shoes but don’t have access to the doll – 11 hr drive apart. I traced the foot of the doll at Xmas time, and did find on 1 site that the foot size was 2-1/2″ long by 1-3/8″ wide. What I am concerned about is the height of the foot (from the bottom of the foot to the top of the foot). I realize that it will differ depending on where you measure, but am looking for an approximate measurement about midway up the foot. Can anyone help. I believe the doll she has is a “Just like me” doll that she got approx 2-3 years ago. By the way, I love your patterns.
My doll is an Our Generation Doll. Although many of the patterns on this site fit okay, I am making the outfit in muslin first, for a trial fit, make adjustments if needed to the pattern then sew the final product on fabric. Time consuming, INDEED. But, I know when I make the outfit, its going to fit. I wasted a few good pieces of fabric before I learned. Another idea, is to just increase the pattern by 1/8″ (all around). This process also gives my doll a perfect fit.
I would spend money if I could buy this in a printed poster, frame and hang it in my sewing room… just a thought!
Thanks for the suggestion, we’ll see what we can do!
Just to mention the Design’a Friend doll by Chad Valley. The UK version which I hope to trailblaze a boutique for over here.Her measurements are:
Height 18″
Chest 11″
Waist: 8″
Hips 11″
shoulders4.1/2″
Legs: measuring the outside from hip to ankle 7.1/2″
Arms: from shoulder to wrist 5.1/2″
feet 2.1/2″ long 1.1/8 across sole.
I can cope well with the differences in the body but I am having trouble with footwear. Has anyone any advice please?
i required 3feet,4feet,and 5.5feet dolls and it should be costumised.is it possible,please let us know.
thank you
You guys are the best! Thanks for everything.
