For those of you who viewed my previous posting of this video...Thank you for putting up with my failed pronunciation of "chemise" and for being patient with your comments.
Having this failure on the channel FOREVER, just wasn't sitting right with me...so I fixed it (i think...) and am re-posting it!

Aw..sweetie. You didn’t have to redo the video. That must have been a Herculean effort. I’m sorry you felt the need to do so...again, the internet can be brutal over the simplest mistakes. Your work is so beautiful, it really should speak for itself. Love, light, and blessings to you and yours, my dear, and I eagerly await your next installment.
You all are so wonderful! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Fortunately, it didn't take too long to do!
I didn't see the mispronounced version but I've learned never to make fun of people pronouncing things the way they are spelled. That means they learned it from reading it!
Aw, that's a good way to view it! ❤️
I’m so sorry you felt you had to redo the video. Yours is a sewing channel, it shouldn’t matter how you pronounce things because that’s nobody’s business but yours.
Love your content and all the work you put into your projects and videos 🤗
Ah, well thank you! I appreciate that! Fortunately it didn't take too long to do!
It still feels weird to me Christine was made to be 16 in the 2004 movie because that was emmys age at the time but Christine is actually in her early 20’s also Erik is in his 50’s
Tbh, I'd still go for Gerard Butler over the other guy 😉
don't feel too bad about mispronouncing chemise, when I first came across the term I kept pronouncing it ke-mees, like chemist lol
🙂Hehe, good to know I'm not the only one!
Isn’t there a slightly famous quote about ‘’never mock someone for mispronunciations, because it means they learned the word by reading.”?
@@BellaMaesDesigns r.i.p. Joel Schumacher
@@BellaMaesDesigns what do you think of the 2004 movie of the musical of The PHANTOM of the OPERA?
@@BellaMaesDesigns Emmy Rossum was 16 when she was Christine in the movie
That tiny eyelet lace is such a nice addition!
Oh man! I wish we still had reasons to wear dresses like this! Fashion used to be so much more elegant! You are inspiring me to get back into clothing design
Why not wear it just because you love it? I intend to!! 😂🤗🥰 Bring a little beauty into the world... 💖
@@lilaeia I don’t have the confidence :( I have tried to be brave but I can’t seem to do it
My dear. Besides an exquisit seamstress, you also have produced a beautiful film. It has all been so tastefully done that it was a treat to watch. You must be the most precise person in history bound sewing. Don't you drive yourself to madness sometimes? But it is all worthwhile when we look at the result. I love watching your progress and cannot wait for the next episode. Thanks for taking us along.
Aw, well thank you! You are very kind to say so! ❤️ Happy to have you along for this journey!
I personally enjoyed the first way of pronouncing chemise because I often make mistakes too 💖😅 English is weird, it’s not read as it’s written and basically you need to hear other people pronounce it repeatedly until you’re able to get it right 😂 I was born and raised in Australia but my parents speak Spanish where the rules are a lot more simpler.
There’s a roundabout here in Victoria where Lilydale is spelt three different ways for the same suburb!
When the Myki (public transport card pass) I read it as Mi-ki but it’s actually “my-key” which was rudely brought to my attention. 😅
Sydenham, which you would assume is said Syd-en-ham, is actually a quick blur of Sid-di-am. 😂
Like before, I loved the work you did, beautiful and so much attention to detail which shows the love you put into it. 💖💖💖
Ah yes! I almost didn't want to remove the old one for this reason...because I AM definitely human and we all make mistakes! :)
But at the same time, I think this was the right decision! English is definitely a hard language...I don't get all the rules half the time so I can't imagine what it would be like to learn it!
I always thought chemise was a French word… I’m now about to search it lol
I seem to peppering things with quotes here but there is another old one, & I cannot recall the attribution, that goes “English doesn’t borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them out, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.” And we do tend to borrow the oddest bits & fragments from other languages. It is almost like we seek out the weirdest turns of phrase possible for things.
Enjoyed the first version and rewatching to support your decision to re-record. I personally feel you didn’t need to, but appreciate the incredible amount of work you put in, as well as your willingness to accept your errors and learn from them. New to your channel but so glad I’ve found it. You’re a lovely young lady with such a charming way of presenting. I love all the research you put in and how your share the details that inform the costume/period dress-making choices you make.
Aw, thank you! ❤️ I really appreciate that! Really happy to now know how to pronounce it!
And very happy to have you along for this journey!
Aaaw :( you poor thing! You didn't have to re-do the video, don't feel bad about the stupid word! I do understand that you simply didn't want to leave it here on your channel, when all the rest of the video/project is just PERFECT... Still, we loved the video!
Also: Man, this is so beautiful!!! Can't wait for the other videos.
Aw, thank you! I appreciate that! ❤️
that chemise is exactly what i need for a summer nightgown. light and cool, yet pretty.
The attention to detail on the underthings! It gives me some kind of 'faith in humanity' feeling.
Oh my gosh!! This video started immediately after a creepy ad for Dark Harbor - a thriller/horror move. So the beginning of this in b&w with music box music playing had me freaked out!!! LOL!!
Oh, no! I was actually worried that it might look a little creepy! 😂
I’m sorry people made you feel bad about the pronunciation and that you felt you needed to redo it. Your chemise is beautiful and that’s what I’m here for! ❤️
Aw, thank you! Fortunately, there weren't too many rude comments...but I just felt like a redo was the right thing to do! Thanks again! ❤️
Bella Maes Designs ; That’s great and right thing you did. There ARE many non-native English speaker, having to rely on auto-translations.
Personally...I am fortunate that I can speak/listen English and French as a Japanese, beside some Koreans and Chinese: BUT when I remember what I had to go through...teachers yelling “articulate” to our face and the labor we had to pay learning to speak with strong accents (which should be vulgar in my native tongue)... pronouncing “R”. Pretty tough efforts and teachers are always a bit ruder and condescending than Prof.Higgins, to non-Westerners😒.
I think those who were born to speak English should do some effort to do it properly...!
Wow it is still lovely! I can’t believe you re-edited this video! That sounds like a lot of work! Fellow dyslexic here who can say with all honesty it does get easier to live with. As I’m sure you already know there is always a work around some just take more time to figure out. Have a wonderful day. I am looking forward to the rest of this series.
Ps Try not to let any of this bother you!! I know that is hard. I once was asked what my first language is. That still smarts a little. I apparently have weird phrasing use old words and have words that have different accents from all the places I have lived. Communication is sometimes very difficult!! You are doing a great job keep it up!!
Ah, thanks! ❤️ Fortunately, it didn't take too long to redo! Thanks for sharing (and oh, that comment must of hurt!!)
I love the insertion lace, so much work but such a pretty result. 😊
Yes, it's one of my favorite parts!
Lol simple but not is basically the definition of elegance. You have these gorgeous silhouettes that look so refined and simple and then you get close enough to see the construction in detail and your mind is blown by all the fiddly work that went into making it look so stream lined.
So excited to see your project progress! Your attention to detail and colour and texture is brilliant.
Thanks! ❤️ Glad to have you along for the journey!
This is the series I’ve been searching for my entire life 😍😍😍
I didn't think you needed to re-do this video! I figured you had a semi-regional accent (like me) that only shows up in a few words - and boy does my hubby tease me about those words lol. I'm rewatching and reliking to support you! I found the idea that Christine was supposed to be 16 rather odd too... the movie actress is certainly older than 16! But back then, it was also somewhat normal for a younger female to marry a much older man (as a nurse? financial support?). Keep up the great work Bella Mae!
Aw, thank you for rewatching! ❤️
It's actually interesting that Emmy Rossum was born in '86, so she actually would have been around 17-18 when the movie was filmed!
That's actually a good point about marrying older men! Thanks for sharing!
My mother worked for Phelps fabric in Jacksonville Florida in the 70’s , She put on fashion shows in the community by teaching people sewing through FCCJ she helped make hockey uniforms but when I search further through felt she made some of the most awesome wedding dresses for people that were so expensive you wouldn’t believe it ! I didn’t ! The fabric alone was so expensive and I notions !
This must have taken so long to redo.. the redo of the voice over is wonderful I just feel bad for you.. your work though is as lovely as always.. thank you for sharing your progress on this wonderful project.
Ah, thank you! It really didn't take to long and I'm feeling very happy to have it fixed! :)
What a treat to watch your work twice! Sorry you felt so much pressure to redo something that was not a big deal in the first place, but I know your whole channel is a labor of love for you. Looking forward to the next installment in this series!
Aw, thank you for watching twice! ❤️ Fortunately, it didn't take too long to do!
Someone has probably already said it, or you may have since found out, but that pretty "insertion lace" that looks like a tiny little railroad track also goes by the name of "entredeux" - which means "between two". It was commonly used to join fabric to lace, lace to lace, flat fabric to ruffled fabric etc, etc. I love the stuff! If you look into various books and yt videos on "heirloom sewing" and "french handsewing" etc you'll see lots of examples of how it gets used. For people doing more modern sewing a lot of modern machines have a stitch (in the "hemstitching family" of stitches on the machine) that resembles it farily well - and there are some tricks to getting it to resemble it even better. For people who like the look, but not the price of it, can be a useful alternative. Those stitches can be very effective if done using a wing needle.
I never think of Phantom as a love interest. He is a preditor in several ways. 😂 Roul (in the movie, not the book) is her live interest. And i LOVE IT!!!!
what a beautiful outcome
Oh Bella Mae all that work re-recording, editing, and uploading! Still now I have the perfect excuse to watch you making them all over again 😃. Seriously though as someone who is hard of hearing, and dyslexic I feel your decision. My biggest problem when recording audio for workshops is that I can't really hear myself and if I'm tired my Mum says I sound like a teddy bear 😃 (whatever that sounds like) still I think my students have got used it. What I'm trying to say is, I come to your channel to watch your skill, passion, gorgous sewingy stuff, and can I just mention your beautiful filming of everything, not how you say chemise 😃.
Precisely! Such a talented, intricate eye & hand - Deserves to spend her days dreaming of delicately intricate inlays, whimsical bonnets, laces & bows, embroidery trims & lovely ways to put all of them together as If done by Cinderellas Fairy Godmother.... Not by a single word - or phrase.. How is it this world can crush beauty without much of an effort But being encouraging, thoughtful & kind is out of the question many times.. Bella Mae - Even had the sound of an old music box's tune gently tinkling its way through the theme of show... How wonderfully charming it was All put together, one could imagine the glorious scent or roses & the gently flickering candlelight from candelabra across the room... Bella Mae Is a treasure..
AWWWWWW, you all are so very kind and amazing! ❤️ These comments are so encouraging and I appreciate it so much! And I am so happy to have such lovely people along for this journey!
Your pin tucks are so even 🤩 Beautiful job! You always have such a professional finish!
Those are super adorable!
This is so beautiful! Lots of work and well worth it!
dont mind me just gonna binge all your phantom stuff
Can I say how much I love this videos?
Absolutely beautiful! I'd wear these as pyjamas
wooow, the lace insertion and your hand sewing! Amazing Bella Mae!!
i don’t know if you’ll see this, but teensy correction: christine wasn’t sixteen in the novel! that’s actually a mis-translation. she’s close in age to raoul and a conservatory graduate, making her about 20 or so! the point still stands that erik was significantly older than christine, but she wasn’t a child.
honestly, your videos is perfect for when you need to rip up the seams on your own dress,really calming. love your videos
So very pretty! Lovely creation!
So intricate and beautiful!! I'm looking forward to seeing it all take shape.
That Think of Me dress was so so beautiful! I think this one looks more "wearable". The white one looks Abit bridal to me.
The lace detail at the neckline is beautiful¡
Thank you for fixing this video! I watched it all the way through and gave it a like!
You’re welcome! And thanks for watching & liking it! ❤️
That chemise is absolutely beautiful. Well done!
Aw, thanks!
Thank you 😊 for sharing ! You do beautiful work and very talented and lovely 😊
This version movie is the best one. Love watching that movie as a teen
Insertion lace is beautiful! I love it - and hope you do a lot more!! Check out heirloom sewing - it is a style if sewing that uses all of those beautiful laces. You may find there are much easier ways to apply it - other than chopping pattern pieces up. I LOVE your videos!!
Thanks for sharing! I'll check that out!
The chemise is absolutely beautiful! I’m a beginner so it will be a couple years yet!
Miss Bella Mae, These are simply Exquisite -
So Dainty & delicately detailed.. They are simply beautiful.. almost too pretty to wear.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Really enjoyed your Vlog 🤓
Love your work!!!
So sorry you felt you had to redo the voice over. It was perfect just as everything you always do! Your work is amazing and it speaks for itself, it shouldnt matter the way you pronounce things, I for one, thought it was really cute the way you pronounced it, and that wasnt a problem at all. Keep up the great work, You are awesome! Nevermind negative comments or doubt yourself ever again!
Aw, I really appreciate this! ❤️ Fortunately, it didn't take too long to do!
Omg I wish I could sew well, I got a sewing machine for my 9th birthday and love 1800 fashion so much one day I will make a dress like this😍😍😍 I hope😅😅
Beautiful work and design on the chemise! Very feminine and delicate. I’ve also learned techniques at least I’ve never came across before. Like the scallop lace at the neckline. Love it❣️
Votre réalisation est absolument magnifique 😍 Un travail d'une telle finesse et délicatesse dans les détails, le choix des ornements. Merci pour moment de partage.
What a beautiful set.
I've always love the musical version over the film as I was a phantom fan girl but now I'm older I love the dresses as I've always wanted her 'masquerade' and 'think of me' dress.
Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait for next video.
Please keep up this fresh breath of air approach. It is so nice to watch your (without pretention) videos.
Aw, thanks! ❤️
Haha yeah when I am tired I start mixing up letters as well. I watched the previous version before and after a while I got convinced myself that is was 'semiche'. But very nice that you made the effort to correct yourself.
Haha, that's part of the reason I decided to redo it...would hate to be the cause of someone learning the incorrect way! :)
Happy to do it!
I’m hyperventilating over how much I love the lace inserts! So beautiful
I am french and I love your accent, it is so cute!
I am actually working on my own Christine, and your playlist (I just saw the entire Christine's playlist) inspire me si much!
I want to have a nice chemise now ! And better endings ! Thank you for your videos !
Your work is absolutely fantastic. 😯
Aw, thanks! ❤️
The design of the chemise is so lovely, you did an amazing job!!
Aw, thanks! ❤️
Lovely, lovely work. ❤️
Thank you for redoing the audio on this. I enjoy your videos and the work that you do, but to be honest, as a French and even English speaker, the way you were saying chemise was driving me nuts and took away from the video, if only because you said it (incorrectly) so often. Kudos for being a professional and putting in the work to put out a professional and perfectly polished video that highlights the gorgeous finished garment.
Really happy to have done it! It didn't take too much time! And that's one of the main reasons I decided to redo it....I say it SOOOOOO many times! ❤️
I literally sighed out loud when you showed your lace collection - I am so jealous!! Where do you buy your trimmings?
Aw, thanks! I got most of it at vintage fairs, some on Amazon, and some on Etsy!
I watched this earlier, and you did such a good job!
Thank you!
This is exquisite
Beautiful. 👌💕
Beautiful ! 😊👍🏻🌺❤️🙏🏻
Freaking unbelievable! You are next level.
Beautiful work! So enjoyable to watch 💕💐
This is BEAUTIFUL! 😍 I am just beginning learning to sew clothing, and your videos are so inspiring... you describe things very clearly! 😊
Exquisite work! Can't wait for the rest of the videos!
As an aside, I've loved bustles since I was little and used to watched the Pirates of Penzance obsessively. I LOOOOVED Ruth's first dress (Australian stage show version), I think it's a kind of walking dress?
What a lovely video, the intro was really good and your chemise and drawers are so pretty!
Oh my god why are they so gorgeous😍
oh my glob. that is the most beautiful chemise i have ever seen. side note: in the south it was called the a "shimmy". just a useless factoid. i intend to purchase your pattern. i am only gobsmacked that you are so talented.
i have that simplicity pattern! did you leave the drawers open?
The movie isn't my fave, but the costumes are gorgeous in it for sure! I support making the Think of Me dress, too. It is stunning as well.
And I didn't see the mispronounced version, but I fully understand. I mispronounced corridor, billiards, and of course Hermione for a while on each word because I hadn't heard them pronounced when I first came across the words. (And I'm sure way, way more that I can't remember right now.) It happens!
I like the lace of the drawers are a bigger version of the chemise....
Beautiful work and very detail oriented,, amazing !!😊
Yes, that's what I thought when I saw it in more stash; purchased separately, but a good match! ❤️
Can’t wait for the pattern!!
How can the musical version of Phantom of the Opera be set in 1880 or 1881? When Christine and Carlotta are not dressed in costumes for the specific operas they are wearing very decorated 1870s bustle gowns, not the early 1880s natural form era silhouette. Perhaps it was supposed to be set in the 1880s because that’s when the book was, but the costume designer LOVED those sleeve flounces that Christine wears in most of her dresses, which are very 1870s.
Hmmm, interesting! All I know is that's what timeframe it's set it!
Beautiful
Corsets are much more comfortable than underwire bras. 🎭🩰🎨

Aw, thank you!
You did excelent job, seriously.
Thank you! ❤️
Thanks! ❤️ Fortunately, it didn't take too long to redo it!
OMG!! What a beautiful garment to just be hidden under a ton of other clothes! you did a fantastic job! i've already watced the dress making portions and wanted to start from the beginning to see why you were making this costume. as this is not a customer order, what do you do with a set like this after completion? does it just go in your finished projects closet? seems like a waist for what i am sure was considerable cost to make. i'm glad i recently found your channel. i'm enjoying watching you do your own designs/draping, etc.
Aw, thanks! The finished gown will go in a closet until the perfect time to wear it again (since it's historically accurate, I'd love to wear it to a ball!) But that's the very reason I don't have a lot of costumes in my closet...just don't have many places to wear them! But sometimes I'm just too in love with a costume to sell it!
I have preordered the chemise pattern. Any news on when I’ll receive it! Love the series!
It was released several weeks ago! Look at your order details on my website, and you’ll find the download links there! Enjoy!!
You didnt have to re edit the video, but the project is still looking good!!
Ah, well thank you! ❤️ But I am happy to have done it!
On one hand, I really appreciate that you put in all of the extra work to fix the pronunciation, because it was distracting me from your amazing sewing skills, on the other hand, I feel like kind of a jerk to harp on something as inconsequential as a mispronounced word. Sorry if I came across as rude in the previous version of the video.
I am really happy to have redone it!
Truly took no offense to your comment (or any others like it!) ❤️ Finding out that you pronounced something wrong your whole life it a bit crushing...but at the same time, its also the time you get to learn something new and start saying it correctly! And that's the part that makes me happy! So thank you!!
I really enjoyed this it’s always inspiring to watch you sew you pick such beautiful projects I have you done any from the greatest showman? I’m still at the start of my sewing journey having made 2 skirts so far but I’m really excited to keep learning xx
Aw, thanks! ❤️
Yes, I actually have! I made two of Charity's outfits:
bella-maes.com/2018/05/18/charitys-traveling-outfit/
bella-maes.com/2018/05/04/the-great-endeavor-recreating-greatest-showman-costumes-charitys-pink-dress/
Bella Maes Designs ooh I cannot wait to watch those that’s just made my day xx
In the future, perhaps you could use a Frixion marker or pen in lieu of the washi tape? It disappears when heat is applied. I often use my hair dryer to get rid of all my marks when my iron would be too clunky.
Aw.. sweetie. You did,t have to redo the video.that must have been a herculean effort. I,m sorry you felt the need to do so... Again the internet can be brutal over simplest misktakes. Your work is so beautiful, it really should speak for itself. Love, light and bleggings to you an...
Omg please do videos on the think of me dress! That would be amazing!
Maybe, one day!
Oh, Bella, you didn't need to redo that video! I thought it was really sweet, and it made you look more human, because you are like the inaccessible perfection (who makes wonderful dresses since she is 13, who ans ers all comments and questions very quickly (I can't thank you enough for all your answers to my billion of questions about your 1860s evening gown), who is so sweet and generous...) It is totally normal to say something in the wrong way, mostly if you are dyslexic, you are not supposed to know everything on everything. People can be a little rude, but I'm sûre they didn't meant it, I'm sure they just wanted to warn you for another video. This chemise is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Ah, thank you! Yes, that’s one of the reason I didn’t want to redo it...I’m definitely human! But at the same time, I would hate to have other people pick up the mispronunciation as a result of watching!
Thank you so much for re-editing, I couldn't watch the original because for some reason I'm really sensitive to incorrect pronunciation. I'm overly sensitive in general, wish I wasn't but oh well.
Your work is so beautiful and it looks like that was a lot of tedious hand sewing, I'm in awe! Everything you make is wonderful and it's a joy to watch you and listen to your pleasant voice. Thank you for sharing and I will definitely watch the rest of this series as well as any video you produce. 💜
I highly doubt you will truly ever be fully happy.
It really didn't take me long to do and it makes me happy! Glad to have you along for this journey (and hopefully it's one with very little mispronunciations! )
@@MzClementine Wow you can tell that from one youtube comment? I have sensory issues, that doesn't mean I'm not happy nor that I never could be. You sound unhappy, I'm not sure a happy person would leave that type of comment. Hopefully we can both have a happy day anyway, lol.
Amei sua blusa rosa 🤗
Yes now it's a rectangle 👍🏻😂 but even when it was still a triangle I enjoyed watching your video! 😊
Haha, yes! 😂 Happy to have such a lovely person watching my videos! ❤️
@@BellaMaesDesigns oh thank you, now I'm getting all flustered ☺ you're awesome and I really live your videos 😊❤
So pretty...love your details lace....but how do you close the top and bottom...tfs
Thanks! The chemise is large enough to just slip over my head and shoulders!
Where did you find the cotton lawn???? It is beautiful
