CGD aims to create dolls children play with that are as diverse as the people in their lives. Children use doll play as an outlet for emotions, to explore scenarios that they may encounter, and have control over situations.

What are Curvy Girls Dolls? From the Kickstarter, “Curvy Girls Dolls (CGD) help children learn and develop through play. This is not the end – We’re just moving on to our backup plans.” Despite the negativity we received this past few weeks, the overwhelming positivity that you have shown us has stuck with us and is keeping us going.

When the Kickstarter looked like it wasn’t going to work out, only reaching $40,640 of the $250,000 goal, the two doll designers decided to pull the campaign and move it to Patreon saying, “These dolls deserve to exist. Technically, right now Curvy Girls Dolls is still just a concept, waiting to be produced with the help of doll lovers like you and me. Graphic designer and artist Joleen was brought in (eventually becoming CEO of the brand) and Curvy Girls Dolls was born– sort of. During her search to find a doll that looked like her, she realized that no company was mass producing plus size fashion dolls. The concept for Curvy Girls Dolls came about when mother Bridget (now CFO of the brand) was looking for dolls that emulated her interracial family.

Recently, a Kickstarter hit the web for a new doll line called Curvy Girls Dolls.
