Doll vs. Plush — What's the Difference?

A doll is a model typically of a human or humanoid character, traditionally used as a toy for young girls. Dolls have also been used in religious rituals throughout the world.

Plush (from French peluche) is a textile having a cut nap or pile the same as fustian or velvet. Its softness of feel gave rise to the adjective "plush" to describe something soft or luxurious, which was extended to describe luxury accommodation, or something rich and full.Originally the pile of plush consisted of mohair or worsted yarn, but now silk by itself or with a cotton backing is used for plush, the distinction from velvet being found in the longer and less dense pile of plush.
