Right, now that I have your attention...

I'm trying to find a miniature for my fiancee. She loves costume dramas, elegant women in victorian/edwardian clothing, and I'd love to find a miniature in this style for her to try painting. All the ones I've seen are basically about the chesticles - cartoon boob monsters do not generally appeal to women, as they're clearly aimed at one audience only. So if anyone out there has seen a proper sculpt in an elegant, mature style I'd love to know about it.

Thanks for reading!

Vampire count women perhaps? their basically anorexic ukrainian women

does it have to be warhammer/40k? if not then check out Malifaux, it's a great litte game to play n you don't need legions of figures to play it

check it out here: http://www.malifaux.com/

She's not into eating disorders, or vampires - she's not a teenager

Thanks for the suggestions. No, it needn't be GW at all

Wargames foundry do a line of Victorian models in the attire you describe.

Not exactly the cheapest, but might float your/her boat.

Warhammer 40k has Inquistion "Sisters of Battle," and well Eldar are really girly, but you'll have a better chance finding women in Warhammer Fantesy.

Broodstar and Kroothawk - thanks for your help but as I said in the OP, NOT after bosomy objectified women, that includes pinups, showgirls, prostitutes et al.

Found this one - more like it, though I'd have to remove and resculpt around the steampunk backpack and the alien gun

A determined young woman, Miss Tickelnott doesn't quite fit the idea of what a Victorian lady should or should not be. Adventurous, drawing back from no danger or dark aged book to decipher, she is as smart as glamorous and as lively as courageous. Drawing from her dear old daddy's fortune, she acquired one of the weirdest weapons in London, an alien living artefact of unknown origin. Daddy has also provided his dearest daughter with a most devoted chaperon : Monsieur Cornelius Fauchelevent.

Tickelnott is a miniature issued from the SMOG range, edited by SMART MAX.
This mini is now aviable. For more info see the SMART MAX Store.

Tickelnott is sculpted by Jacques-Alexandre Gillois.

I think Million's onto a good start with the Smog Range:

Also, what about the discworld minatures? some are pseudo-period in design in line with the more recent TV shows they made:

or possibly copplestone castings, they do a bunch of victorian-esque stuff:

Try Spyglass miniatures - can be bought here -

Reaper has some nice figures too.

Betting the OP is gonna call this one to much Décolletage.

I posted the Malifaux showgirls, because that was the faction a girl here chose innediately.

That's a special edition Dark Sword miniature. I don't think it's still available that's why I didn't post it.

Thanks for the input guys. I still think Miss Tickelnott is the closest I've seen. The Swell Molls from Copplestone Casting are decent too

Here's another couple that may be of interest. Again perhaps too much steampunk, and too much leg, but I have one of each of these and the sculpts are brilliant:
