A vote for you - It’s not “duchess” satin, it’s “duchesse”, it’s French! Tbh I don’t care how people pronounce it, we all know what we’re talking about and French pronunciation isn’t natural for a lot of English speakers - but you’re valid!
I am with you in that I wouldn’t remake the skirt again, but I’m intrigued as to if you have plans for the silk that didn’t work out? Whenever I have a fabric not work right for a project I always feel a pressure to come up with something to do with it so it’s not “wasted”
I know you didn't make this video to have someone suggest more work but here I go. Your checker mock up looked so good we now need a checker dress with a Ever After bodice 😁. You make great videos 💯✌🤟🤘
I was thinking the same thing!
I have to agree about the wearable mockup. While the yellow check is giving me hilarious flashbacks to my childhood in the 1960s, the design would make for a lovely spring/summer dress. Please consider it.
I was just thinking that the yellow checkered fabric is very nice, cheery and would make a really cute dress! (if you think that I usually HATE yellow, it's a huge compliment!)
I think there is a misconception that successful UA-camrs are all insanely wealthy and cost is no issue. At my current level, this is a project I'd never have attempted simply due to the cost of the proper materials. I shall keep thrifting linens until I'm satisfied I have the basics finally fitting me right. In your case, you know your budget better than we do.
It’s very, very true. I have two sisters. One is a teacher and one is a hairstylist. Both make more than me. 😂 I’m not complaining though. I like what I do and my bills are paid so I’m happy.
How do you know which thrift stores fabrics? The only thrift stores I've seen sell clothing
It's a game of trial and hunting with where you live. My favorite one has a dedicated craft section. And even if they don't have that, look for bedsheets and table cloths. I work with a lot of those, you get a very large chunk for under $5. I just made a skirt that looks like wool out of blackout curtains, for example. Start looking at other things in different ways, it doesn't specifically have to be crafting fabric.
Watching you work through your urge to perfection is actually helpful for me to let go in my work too. Thabk you for putting something as uncomfortable as that out for us to see.
Same. Im actually just surprised someone else has that problem. Most people I see are just winging it.
I love the music you choose for your videos. It makes them so soothing to watch.
And thank you for showing the whole process, including how you rip everything apart to start afresh. Your videos really are inspiring me to get back into sewing, and with a better mentality. I am a fellow perfectionist and your journey to balance seeking to do your best, while accepting imperfections is the sort of camaraderie I needed! Thank you. ❤❤
Plus this project is just to die for. 😭 I love Danielle’s dress SO much!
I agree. It is good to see the seam ripping as part of the task instead of a polished "everything goes right first time every time" image which leaves me wondering why I can't.
My husband has been encouraging my sewing (for nearly 39 years) and cheers me on with "unpicking is part of the job" and "Unpicking is how you take your garments from OK to the excellence that you are known for, good on you!"
Wouldn't this be a stunning wedding dress? 😍
It would for one of those brides that want a fairy-isch wedding dress.
Very fitting since in the movie it was Danielle’s mother’s old wedding dress
how well this comment has aged! 😊
Hello from the future. Boy do I have news for you.
You're a great teacher. Thanks for focusing on the importance of mock ups.
about duchess fabric, you were saying it right from the start, it is in-fact not like the nobel title. at least from what I have been taught by people that literary work with selling fabric.
Here in Italy we pronounce it like Mariah did: also, I don't know if it's the same in English, but in Italian the name of that fabric is spelled "duchessE" with a final E, because it's intended to be French - hence the pronounce.
I am so enjoying this video series on this EVER AFTER dress, one of my favorite movies and dresses.
I'm 18 mins in and will go back to the video, just wanted to jump in and say before I forget that I appreciate so much the details you show us in the sewing but even a very important to me detail of the music background is, WOW, always spot on. I hope others are as appreciate of your choices!
I get tired of the typical jazzy same old music soooo many videos use.
This is a breath of fresh air and helps me concentrate on what you are doing and saying. And helps your videos, added with your appealing calm voice, to be what they are!
Thank you!!!
Now I'm jumping back in!
I'm another thinking you should finish out the mockup. Maybe with a flared skirt that stops at mid calf. That would be such a 50's throwback that would be adorable.
Well I just discovered I am also short waisted and it explains so many things.
Completely changed my sewing when I figured it out 🙌
Seeing what you have so far on the dress form is jaw dropping gorgeous. The drape of the skirt is simply stunning. Cant wait to see it with the overlay.
I love watching your bodice mockup process. So helpful.
The way you pronounce "Duchess" is the French way to say it (at least it sounds like French :) ). I really love the progress of the gown !
Correct. From what I've seen, you can use either the English (duchess) or the French (duchesse) word to describe this fabric. But do note that they're spelled differently. So if you spell it as duchess, it makes sense to use the English pronunciation and if you use the French pronunciation, it makes sense to use the French spelling with the E at the end xD. (Not that it really matters :p.)
That original dress when I saw it in the movie actually took my breath away... The other dress that had the same effect was the one Audrey Hepburn wore to the ball in My Fair Lady... This is so fascinating to watch! Amazing process and talent you're sharing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It’s truly amazing how lovely everything is coming together.
Cut yourself some slack you are trying to make something you have only seen in pictures so be nice to yourself. Also I agree with you that it’s expensive fabric that would spend a long time in my it’s far too expensive to cut pile!! One of my dream projects has expensive fabric that I’m still trying to convince myself would be a good thing. I’m going to have to buy a cheap blend to make a wearable mock up so I can get over the idea of cutting into that expensive stuff!!
Ugh these videos and this project are so inspiring! If I ever work up the courage to stop fighting with my sewing machine and figure out how to actually sew clothes with it...maybe someday I can hope to be a fraction as skilled as you are! 🙌🙌🙌
This is the second time I have watched this video. It's like watching someone do magic!! Your skills with patterning ( tailoring?) is absolutely amazing, then your sewing skills and your teaching skills...I am serious Mariah, you are amazing! I am very happy to see you let go of things a bit. Being a perfectionists is not a bad trait, unless it holds you captive.
This dress is a dream and I can't wait for the next video.
I sincerely appreciate that you share your skills and knowledge. I also really enjoy seeing your chickens; random, but true.
Happy New Year! I wish you happiness, health and peace for you and your family,
Audri
As far as I know, both duchess and duchesse are correct. And speaking of pronunciation, I'm pretty sure that momme is pronounced like mommy. There's a great video all about silk that Dixie DIY did for the Costube CoCoVid. I learned so much from that video, and it pairs very well with the one Nicole Rudolph did.
As long as you don't adopt NR's way of saying "Museum", it's all good Dear.
It’s so so so pretty. What a flattering cut
Fantastic sewing series! I love seeing the thought processes, as well as the successes and not so successes. Thank you
I enjoyed the comment answering session at the end ^^
I'm loving how this is coming along so far. And honestly you're using fabrics that I tend to say "nope" to.
you were correct (or as correct as a non-french speaker can be) for the French pronunciation of 'duchesse'
Just discovered your project and have found it very helpful. I'm also making a costume from this film. The last dress that the stepmother wears before she and her evil daughter are demoted to laundry ladies. It's a beautiful dress and I noticed that it's made from the same pattern for the blue,grey and silverish dress the stepmother wears fort her introduction. Now I gotta decide which color version I want to make or of I want to use my own color theme.
The dress looks lovely. Looking forward to seeing the final reveal. As for the pronunciation of Duchess satin, I've always heard it as the same as the aristocratic rank, as in "the Duchess of Sussex". Plus I've heard several professional designers pronounce that way, too. And you aren't the only person I've heard mispronounce it. Another CosTuber I watch pronounces it "du- CHAISE". Often mispronunciations occur when a person has only read the particular word and not heard it pronounced. And there are a lot of fabrics that have names that are a bit tricky. Names like challis, voile, faille, to name but a few. (For the record they're pronounced shall-lee, not chalice, voile is like oil with a "V" not v-wall, and file not fail. I looked them up because I wasn't sure of the pronunciations either.)
For the Duchesse/Duchess point--its actually not a mispronunciation! They are simply the same word in different languages. The French word, spelled duchesse, is pronounce "doo-chess", while the English word, duchess, is pronounced "duh-chess". You'll see listings using either version, but if the listing is spelled Duchesse, the correct pronunciation is "doo-chess".
As for challis, voile, and faille, you're on the right track. They would be pronounced "shall-lee", "vwahl", and "feye" or "feye-yuh", respectively ("eye" as in the body part. I couldn't think of a better way to indicate it without using IPL, and "f-eye" indicated a syllabic break, which that word doesn't have). If you're pronouncing faille the second way, which is technically more correct, there is almost no emphasis on the "yuh", to the point that its almost not there, which is why "feye" works just as well.
Basically, French is weird, and there are a ton of silent letters. But that's a big part of why its so beautiful!
@@toolsoffantasy you're right about that. I was once told that the only final consonants pronounced in French are the ones that are in the word "careful". All the others are silent. I think there is also a rule that some can be pronounced if the first letter in the next word is a vowel, but I'm not sure if that's correct or not.
You are so funny, honest and amazing! I love watching and hearing your comments. Thanks for sharing.
I know you've had your setbacks, but overall you're doing great and it looks fantastic. I've never regretted going back to redo things to make a project look better, but I would draw the line at purchasing a 3 round of fabric same as you.
Yay! It looks awesome! Glad you didn't start over with new fabric.
Oof. You said on your patreon that you feel like you have to do this project twice in order to do it right, and I can just FEEL that two steps forward, one step backward thing here. It's SUCH a complicated dress.
In the plus side, you're making it a lot easier for the rest of us. 😏
I'd say it's accurate in the movie because that's how it is, plus I think it's a lot more ethereal off the shoulders than on the mannequin. I think its just easier to keep it on a mannequin on the shoulders instead of off.
Wow! This dress is turning out amazing!
I don't think I specified when I commented on the last video that I didn't mean you should redo the whole skirt with new fabric at great expense. Goodness, those would be some high expectations, lol! The price of fabric does shock me into choking on my own spit a little, even when it's not my money being spent. I figured you would pull apart the skirt, match the grain lines so everything would hang better and eventually redo the hem with thinner padding. The skirt drapes so much better now and looks beautiful.
I really appreciate that you redid the skirt, it is completely different.
Very cute.
It looks gorgeous already, Mariah. Perfectly elegant.
I have learned so much from you about working with mock ups! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your process, I learn something new every time I watch you. I do have a question, what model is your vintage machine? I am not on instagram, so this is my only opportunity to speak with you. Thank you in advance, and again thank you for sharing your mistakes and your triumphs!
Singer Red Eye from 1921. A very early motorized version. It came in a box, but I swapped it into a 1950’s Singer table because that was more practical for me.
Wedding dress goals
The music is Devine ❤
Beautiful. Thank you for all the teaching you do.
And I definitely would not spend the money to re buy the expensive fabric.
I am loving this adventure Mariah!! The good, the mistakes (though they are minimal) and the wonderful!!
We like it when our idols screw up and own up. It means they know they're human. This is why I adore Rachel Maksy to the degree I do, because I'm pretty sure her whole audience identifies with that "human tornado" energy. XDD
The fabric Duchess is pronounced the way Mariah said it in the video.. Atleast that's how it's said where I live..
I congratulate on your progress. Not only is ityour time but the cost outlay. Personally I think your doing a brilliant job in explaining everything to us. Keep up your spirit and breathe just breathe. Xxx
so the yellow and white fabric would be spo pretty as a summer dress!
This is a wonderful series, thanks so much for sharing with us. I can't wait to see the final finished dress....... it's going to be beautiful.
I love your videos. Made two patterns from your multiple flaired skirt videos. I am still trying the bodice. I must admit I have never sewn in my life so this is all new to and I love it
Ooooh! It’s coming out magnificent! I knew you would work out all the issues❤️ and it would be fine. It’s so reassuring for the rest of us though to see how you turned it around and what a great result you had! So glad you didn’t give up and chuck the whole thing into the scrap pile
You are living my childhood dream
You pronounced duchesse the right way. It is a french word for that kind of fabric👌🏻
I’ve always pronounced ‘duchesse’ the same way you do, because of the e at the end that makes it seem different. but then I heard someone else say it differently and thought I might be wrong. I still prefer my ‘wrong’ way though haha
'duchesse' is duchess in French, and in French it is pronounced more or less like that (du-shess), but I'm seeing references to both duchess satin and duchesse satin, so in English idk!
You may be suffering from perfection drift. The dress you are making does not exist anymore as seen in the movie it has changed its shape (slightly) and color and is displayed in a museum which you do not have direct access to. Drew would no longer be able to fit in it now. (it is something like Cathy Hay and her unfinished peacock dress). Your copy target has drifted just by existing, and nothing about it is perfect nor can it be. It will be a beautiful gown and I, for one, can't wait to see you in it.
Ha! To those comments on the last video arguing to go ahead and spend more money on more fabric to try again: I have to say it is always easier to suggest other people spend extra time + money chasing perfection than to do it yourself.
My theory is that the off-the-shoulder look was a day of decision. Someone on set probably didn't like the way the dress looked and made the decision to push it off her shoulders, maybe to be more sexy 😒. In the movie, the shoulder puffs look sad and compressed to me, like someone shoved them down.
Very nice! I'm glad you're feeling better about the skirt.
Beautiful progress! I've also heard plenty of different people pronounce it do-shess, it's just leaning into the French pronunciation it all :D
is it just me or is Mariah wearing a wedding ring? Have I just never noticed before?
I was wondering if I was the only one… lol
Duchess like the rank
Dress looking amAzing
Looks great already! I'm looking forward for the lace
I am curious as to what you, and other professional sewers do with your mock-ups.
Sorry. Forgot to say how interesting your video was.
Honestly the small pieces and bodices jut get thrown away. Big skirt pieces I reuse for bodices.
@@MariahPattie , thanks for the info. I wonder if rice's for fabrics vary from country to country. I have just paid $A 26 per metre for double cotton gauze. Great for summer.
That is "prices"...
Basic cotton for mock-ups is cheap. I look for clearance cotton marked less than $5 US. Fabric prices vary depending on quality and where you are buying it.
In regards to the pronunciation of Duchess, I think it depends on what spelling you're using. In the US, I think we say it like the nobility rank, but I've seen it written as "duchesse", in which case, saying it as "doo-shess" would technically be correct because... French. We just love to mess with it. Whatever pronunciation boats your float lol
😹😹😹😹okay Duchess is pronounced as Duh - chuhs there is only a slight difference between the British and American way of saying it, the English language is weird you spell it one way, but say it in another way😹😹😹
Can not wait to see the finished dress, as for dyeing fabric I just did some that cost me $95 a meter just because they did not have it in the shade that I wanted. I have taken to hand dyeing my fabrics in the colours that I love and plus it makes it one of a kind in the end.
The word for the fabric orinally came from the French. So it would be spelled Duchesse and pronounced doo Shess. Accent on the 2nd syllable. But it can be pronounced differently in different countries. I think doo Shesse sounds lovely. My preference.
Remember, we don't pay for the stuff, or do the work, so we have low stakes in suggesting you do more work, haha!
Also, I'm pretty sure either Duchess or Duchesse can work. It's just that one is English and the other is French?
"Duchesse" is the French term for "duchess". As a fabric it is used for a high quality, heavy and shiny / silky fabric made of silk, half silk or synthetic filaments.
It's pronounced the French and NOT the English way. Your pronunciation isn't quite correct but never mind - you do an awesome job sewing 😁! Greetings and have a blessed Autumn time!
thanks for sharing mariah this is beautiful
really well done, bravo!!!
I adore tthis dress.
According to Merriam-Webster "Duchesse" is pronounced d(y)ü¦shes
Here's a youtube video of it being spoken in a French accent: ua-cam.com/video/UXkR09GaXwE/v-deo.html
Hi just wondering when you will upload your next world building I don't mean to bother you it's just been a little while since you last uploaded and i'm a little worried that you forgot about it. (This is my Mom's accountant so pleas do not judge her off of my decisions.)
Senpai has noticed me!
I think duchesse is pronounced the same way you said it but with the "ch" as a "sh" because French.
👍😉👍
People would be horrified by the cost if it was their money.
När ska du gå ut back to the World Building One I like you so good just to
Yes Duchess satin is pronounced the same way as the royal rank.
Did you get married?
