"Daughter of the Regiment 1812" (1 Viewer)

[PolarBear]

Miss Catherine Moreland, known for her independent spirit, has gone for a walk alone in the winter woods. Her protective father, the colonel of the regiment, has sent Pvt. Thompson of the Battalion Co. to bring her back to the manor house where her father is billeted. Needless to say Catherine is not amused and if looks could kill.......

Another beautiful picture Randy, with the first of the new petticoat releases.

Or scared to death!

Another nice one ! Randy.

I think she looks set to storm right past him.

He does look smitten.

If I were he, I would offer to escort her if she insists on continuing on her walk.

But, he would have to face the Colonel's wrath on return.....

Yes Pvt Thompson is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea

Again, a very good photo.

But I think we should not miss the fact that the quality control at Britains (at least to the extent I have seen their figures) is outstanding. I understand that their commercial batches of figures are very close to the paint masters - and this picture is evidence of that in my opinion. Congratulations.

Very nice picture! I can't wait to read the rest of the book! You've inspired me to start collecting this series as well. I mostly collect the Britains, but these Petticoats are an improvement on the classic females, who tended towards the plain.

The Petticoats are a terrific series. They are accurate in costume down to the tiniest details. Ericka Osen (Ken's wife) is a fashion historian and curator and has played a key role in the series.

Here is Ericka's article from The Standard:

These are wonderful! Thanks for posting the article. With the exception of a couple of Johilco ladies in cloche hats, my poor gals are all stuck with farm chores-they will be envious. I've read that on the American frontier,before the days of mass production, when a woman got a new dress, she'd pass it around her friends turned inside-out so they could all inspect the seams-how well done they were was the real indication of the dress's guality. Oh well, I'm getting pretty good at repairing the old piggy bank-guess I'll have to break it open again!

Hello Whistlinghen,

A very warm welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your interesting posts on lady figures.

The forum does not have many threads/posts on these.

I hope you can post some images of your "poor gals stuck with farm chores".

Best, Raymond.

You asked for it (Remember that old show?)

"I hope you can post some images of your "poor gals stuck with farm chores".

Best, Raymond."

I've found that if I don't glue my figures to boards (using lead safe varnish and glue), my cat considers them fair game. This is a typical scene at Emily's Farm, which probably explains why it has yet to show even a turnip's worth of profit. The Johilco woman in the wheelbarrow is missing a foot, but seems to be quite happy, so I'll probably leave her that way. Cheers, Emily

Hi Emily,

Thanks very much for posting the image of your "poor gals stuck with farm chores".

Much appreciated.

A leg transplant for the Johilco woman in the wheelbarrow ?

Best, Raymond.
