When it comes to movie costumes I will forgive any historical accuracy as long as it's beautiful - that's why I love the costumes in this film! Every dress is beautiful, including the step-mother and step-sisters outfits - I love Anjelica Huston's dresses!
The dress is also playing on another Perrault tale, Donkeyskin, where the protagonist wears a dress like the moon, a dress like the sun, and then a dress like all the colors of the sky.
The costuming represents her moving from a caterpillar (her old drab clothes) to being cocooned in another person's clothing and personality, followed by her growing into a butterfly and celebrating her true self
Loved this movie too, now I want to re-watch it. "And while Cinderella and her Prince did live happily ever after... the point, gentlemen... is that they lived."
I worked with a seamstress, about 20 years ago, when went to art school with the costume designer. The Breathe Dress was "inspired" by that seamstress' final project/wedding dress. Direct copy.
That moment when Danielle gets her wings ripped off by her stepmother always annoys me, because of the way that the prince and king and queen treat her afterwards. I mean, if her mother was a noblewoman, and was worthy of wearing that dress and the other fashionable dresses that Danielle wore under her mother's identity, then Danielle is also a noblewoman and is worthy, by being the daughter of a noblewoman and a nobleman, to wear those dresses, no matter how she's been treated by her stepfamily. The fact that the prince's attitude to her changes, when she's outed by her stepmother, and is disgusted that he's been hanging out with "a servant", rather than being outraged that Danielle, a noblewoman by birth, has been enslaved and abused in her own home, rather than being treated appropriately, is really annoying. Like, how shallow is he? It's not like he's been actually hanging out with someone of the lower classes ... Her stepfamily have been presented to the king and queen and her stepsister has been considered as a possible future wife for him ... But yes, I agree that the costumes in this movie are really nice! I am currently making a ca. 1503 Florentine costume after the portrait of the Mona Lisa, and I should take another look at Ever After to see where seams are placed, etc. since I'm making my own pattern ...
Women rarely inherited titles and paternal lineage was more important. Though her mother was a born a noblewoman, I think Danielle's father was just a rich merchant. So she would only be the daughter of a merchant. She might have some maternal backing, but it seems unlikely, considering it never came up. Either her mother's family had fallen or didn't care about Danielle. The stepmother on the other hand, was born noble, married a nobleman for her first marriage, and remained the land owner and lady of the house after her second husband passed. Which means there were no male relatives to take over the manor and estates. Essentially, the stepmother was welcomed in court by her own merit and presumed power and thus had more say as opposed to the daughter of a merchant who had fallen to becoming a servant, little better than a slave. Remember how the stepmother sold the older servant to pay back debts? Yeah.
Danielle, and Cinderella in general, are not actually part of the nobility. In this story, her mother actually wasn't a countess, which is why when the secret gets out, the stepmother says it's laughable that she would call her one. The point of all the Cinderella stories is that the Prince ends up marrying someone of of common birth. That is why it was such a big deal when Kate Middleton married Prince William because while her family had wealth, they were not of the nobility.
I understand that, the prince is not the best , but that is also why he is drawn to her, he is presented at the beginning as immature and apathic character and her passion about her memories of her father inspired him and he evolves as well in the movie and in that moment it was a turning point for him as well and thankfully by Leonardo's intervention he comes to his senses.
I was 19 when Ever After came out and I felt so relatable to Danielle. I had just left home and gotten married. My dad had been verbally abusive towards me since he and my mom reconciled and remarried when I was 10. So I felt like I had transformed from something not wanted into a princess. I had always loved the costumes and wanted to make the library dress. It never happened. As life goes times get hard and you have to focus in on what's important and not little fantasies about dresses and fabric. Then the babies came and the dress was forgotten about. Until your last video came out where to talked about the Breath dress. I hope you have been working on it at least a little bit at a time everyday since the last video. I look forward to seeing the finished dress one of these days.
This was a delight. Getting to listen to two knowledgable people basically fan girling over one of my favourite films. While the Breath dress is naturally my favourite, the red velvet comes a close second, it just looks so rich and scrumptious.
Ever After is by far the best Cinderella movie. By far. There is no competition. And now I want the blue work dress for my daily wardrobe. I might have to go a bit anachronistic with the bodice- I’ll probably bone it to give it more support. But it’s on the list.
I was 25 when this came out. I have owned a copy ever since, in every format. One of my all time faves. I love all her dresses honestly. Hard to pick a favorite, I mean if I am doing housework, her work dress obviously. ;) Off to steal my love's breath, well I know the dress for that too!
Everyone is forgetting the best dress of all: Leonardo's under dress with the walking on water shoes. (Chef Kiss) But close second is, of course the Just Breathe dress. I look forward to seeing your progress.
I'm so tempted to make a modern version of the sleeves on the work dress, or the red velvet dress. Or the step-mother's green dress - imagine showing up to work in that dress, I would be the envy of the office!
I really love Rodmilla's green house dress with the weird elbow flops. There's something about the simplicity and the flops. I also love the yellow dress that Danielle wears. It's so springy and charming.
When Henry says to her “Is there anything you can’t do?” And Danielle says “Fly!”…and then shows up to the ball wearing wings 😭 Such a powerful use of visuals in costuming to signal that she’s now fully using her latent power by owning her identity 100% with Henry. Love it! ✨💛 Also, love that they subtly reference sumptuary laws when Danielle is borrowing the dress from Gustave to save Maurice…it definitely shows Danielle’s courage in more ways than one to help a friend. Clothes definitely help tell the story! Thanks for this video! I love finding others who nerd out about Ever After…it’s such an underrated masterpiece! ✨
I 100% love this! I was 13 when this movie came out and fell in love. It still stands as my favourite Cinderella version. I love all the costumes but the Breathe Dress definitely steals the spotlight, literally had my jaw-dropped when I first saw it in theatres. I would love to make the Ruin dress someday, it is as you say “delicious”. Other favs are actually Marguerite's peacock dress and Jacqueline's horse mask that they wore at the Masque!
The only thing that I must disagree with is the disrespect for the first Nicole dress! 😉 It's my third favorite in the whole movie. Great video! It looks like you guys had so much fun talking.
The support "stays", which were used in the Italian Renaissance era is called a . A "gamura" supported the bust and kept the silhouette in place we all know of the Renaissance Era.
Ever after was the movie that inspired me to design dresses as a kid! They werent amazing, but I have started sewing now because of my interest in fashion! The work you have already put into your version is mind blowing!!
I watched this movie so many times and in fact ended up buying Utopia and read it! And I always loved the gold blue dress!😊 That one and the one in Legend (with Tom Cruise) were the inspiration for my wedding dress!😜
I've seen this movie more times than I can count. I love it so much! The Breathe dress is my favorite, the fact that it was her mother's and how beautiful it is. My second favorite though, has to be the dress she wears in the end as a Princess and Henry's wife. The gold embroidery on the red, AAAAh! It's gorgeous!
Kat: **video talking costumes of iconic movie** Me: **me enchanted by the casual kirtle bodice gorgeousness all video** Gosh, me wants lavender and gold kirtle too.
I don't have any strong opinions on the costumes, but just to add that I also love the film, the storyline and the take on Cinderella. It was a great movie to watch when you are growing up.
You know that this means that anyone who sees this video has to go back and watch the movie.... I always skip the part where they try to take Danielle's mother's dress. It is just so heartbreaking that I just can't! I hope you can finish your dress soon!
If you’ve seen the film, can you comment down below your favourite costume from it? I’m really curious! ☺️ and if you’ve got a second, check out Marty’s video here czcams.com/video/p4x7bsuM7s8/video.html
I adore the red dress where she meets him in the ruins the day before the ball, but nothing is going to top the wings dress. It’s so detailed and exquisite and I’ve never loved a dress more ever since I saw the film as a little girl. it’s the pinnacle of movie costume for me.
My first dabble in costuming and historical clothing was convincing my mom to make me a dress like the green court dress for halloween in middle school!
I must admit...I got 5 minutes into this video and had to stop. ...to go watch "Ever After". Yup. Never watched it. (sigh) ...I've found a new favorite movie! Of course, watching it for the first time I had no inkling of the undertones of the costumes and, to be honest, I've never thought of costumes in such a way. Thank you, Marty, for opening up that perspective for me and I have to totally agree with you on the costuming showing that underlying theme of Danielle becoming and progressing to who she really is. ...now I have to wonder if we do that in our own lives? (hmmm....) This was a wonderful time spent with you two fine ladies. Thank you for taking time to include all of us!
This is one of my favourite movies of all time!! I loved it as a kid when it came out, and I still do as an adult! I'm excited to show it to the littlest kids in my family, and friend group 😁 Watching Ever After as a young girl, it was amazing to see such a wonderful movie, so well done, and so much female strength and empowerment! ❤️ The trailer was on other movies we had on cassette and it ended kind of epically with that camera shot falling toward her saying "Just breathe." *That* stuck with me, and it's actually _even better_ in the movie! (Like, that doesn't always happen 🤨) Ever After and the book Ella Enchanted came out close together, and they are like two sides of the _best_ Cinderella coin - both strong female-lead stories, one a modern more realistic retelling without magical elements, and the other a book that transported my young mind to a fantasy past and had *so much* magic in it!! Those two are my favourite Cinderella stories of absolutely ever. ❤️❤️❤️
This video was great! I loved seeing you talk with someone else, and you clearly had great fun and enjoyed yourselves!! Very entertaining, learned a bunch that I'm absolutely gonna think about next time I watch the movie - which is totally not right now, I have too much stuff to do, no, I'm going to resist! Maybe. I hope. ...💡! Or I'll wait and afterwards I'll just rewatch _both_ of your videos and _then_ rewatch Ever After!! Ha! Okay I have a chance of making it 😁
Bernley and Troubridge did a video a little while ago that broke down kirtles and under kirtles using the research in The Tudor Tailor's books. Definitely worth a watch.
I just stumbled upon this video after watching so many of yours. You have always reminded me of someone and I just couldn't put my finger on who. Now I know. You remind me of Melanie Lynskey. Same vivacious smile.
This was already one of my favourite movies but now I love it even more! The way you two talk about the dresses breathes so much life into it. Can’t wait for the next instalment! X
Today I am going to try and pattern Princess Buttercups orange-red dress. And one day I will save up and get the appropriate wool from a shop in Germany. But until then I'm going to make a just slightly more modernized version. Twice. For my winter dresses, one out of merlot wool surge and one out of prussian blue wool surge. basically I'm going to put buttons on the front instead of lacing up the back, inspired by Princess Grace of Monaco's wedding dress. Pockets. Some, but only some volume out of the sleeves (I don't have enough fabric for that) and instead of those darts in the bosom I am going to pull it into slight blousing in the front, and lower the front waistline by 2" to 4". It will be more flattering on me that way.
Quick comment before I finish the video, but Scraps and Sequins also posted an Ever After video just a couple of minutes after yours. I wasn't paying attention to the notifications and thought it glitched for a moment. (edit: this collab is fantastic!)
So, after 30 seconds of watching this video I decided I had to watch the movie... So now after 2 hours I am back to finish your video haha. The costumes are amazing!
I loved this video and your takes on the costume. I love Ever After and half of the reason I watch this movie again and again is because of the dresses. I love them. They have inspired me a lot. I'm not a costumer or historian but I am an avid movie watcher and costumes definitely play a huge role in setting the mood and emotions of a film and bad costumes can throw you out of the world especially in a historical fantasy situation.
My favorite movie! I was 15 when it came out and I have probably watched it hundreds of times since then. The costumes have always been favorites of mine.
This was the movie that really got me into costuming. I still have my version of the Breathe dress that my mom helped me make in high school. I sat in typing class and hand embroidered the sleeves.
I love this video! (Possible series with different historian guests?) If you do more of these, it'd be great to have a still of each costume that lingers on screen as you talk about it. It's been a minute since I saw Ever After, and it was hard to picture each of them as you were speaking.
I found your video through Marty's video on Ever After costuming (so glad there's an informed reason to love their costumes!!) Do you have a video on making this purple lace up top you're wearing? Or what it's called? I love it so much!!
I have never heard of this movie, but again I'm 69 so that probably is why. Where can I see this movie? What streaming service or channel is it available on? I'm in the U.S.A. but I do have Acorn and BBC America, plus the regular BBC. Please let me know. I would like to see it now just for the clothes! Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me!
The 2019 Little Women is the most researched and thoughtfully executed film of Louisa May Alcotts book. A lot of costube was awfully disengenuous about the film and it's intentions. 😤
Danielle, doing the "wear your mom's vintage prom dress" decades ahead of the curve
When it comes to movie costumes I will forgive any historical accuracy as long as it's beautiful - that's why I love the costumes in this film! Every dress is beautiful, including the step-mother and step-sisters outfits - I love Anjelica Huston's dresses!
Me too!!

This was so nostalgic and fun! Would love to see the continuation into the costumes of Rodmilla, Margherite and Jacqueline ✨💛✨

I'm so glad Ever After is finally getting recognition!!
This was a delight. Getting to listen to two knowledgable people basically fan girling over one of my favourite films. While the Breath dress is naturally my favourite, the red velvet comes a close second, it just looks so rich and scrumptious.
Kat: I fell in love with- all the costumes, _again_ ...
Me: Preaching to the choir, sis!

I’ve never clicked on a vid so fast!!!!!
Also the “ Library” dress was almost the “Breathe” dress but Drew said it wasn’t fancy enough
When Henry says to her “Is there anything you can’t do?” And Danielle says “Fly!”…and then shows up to the ball wearing wings 😭 Such a powerful use of visuals in costuming to signal that she’s now fully using her latent power by owning her identity 100% with Henry. Love it! ✨💛

I'm working on my "just breathe" dress right now!
I 100% love this! I was 13 when this movie came out and fell in love. It still stands as my favourite Cinderella version.

Not gonna try to change your mind. Ever After is one of my absolute favorite movies…the costumes are just exquisite!!!!
This was so much fun.
I watched this movie so many times and in fact ended up buying Utopia and read it! And I always loved the gold blue dress!😊 That one and the one in Legend (with Tom Cruise) were the inspiration for my wedding dress!😜
I love when she saves herself!! "My father was an excellent swordsman! He taught me well!" :)

The library dress!!
@@annahill99 The Just Breathe dress has always been my favourite! 🤩
My first dabble in costuming and historical clothing was convincing my mom to make me a dress like the green court dress for halloween in middle school!
I think I need to go and watch Ever After!
Omg totally me too
I went and looked up where it can be streamed.... Disney+ it is!
I have two dresses made based on this film- a breathe dress and a red version of the gold dress she wears to release Maurice.
I loved this little chat! My favorite look is the burgundy one! 💃❤
I have not seen this movie but just based on your video I've fallen in love with her princess dress!
I must admit...I got 5 minutes into this video and had to stop. ...to go watch "Ever After". Yup. Never watched it. (sigh) ...I've found a new favorite movie!

What a great rundown of all of the costumes - I hadn't made some of the connections you both made and it really adds to my enjoyment of the film!
This is one of my favourite movies of all time!! I loved it as a kid when it came out, and I still do as an adult! I'm excited to show it to the littlest kids in my family, and friend group 😁

Maybe.
I hope.
...💡!
Or I'll wait and afterwards I'll just rewatch _both_ of your videos and _then_ rewatch Ever After!! Ha! Okay I have a chance of making it 😁
You really make me go and watch old(er) movies I haven't seen at the time... I loved the little sneak peaks of the costumes I can look forward to :D
I love this movie so much! It was so fun watching you get excited about the costumes!
Loved this so much! Haha I’d love to see you two talk about Angelic Huston’s gowns also! Her costumes were so inspirational for me!
Bernley and Troubridge did a video a little while ago that broke down kirtles and under kirtles using the research in The Tudor Tailor's books. Definitely worth a watch.
I won't try to change you mind. Love the costumes! Even tried to copy the ballgown for a ball I went to. Love this movie!!
I just stumbled upon this video after watching so many of yours. You have always reminded me of someone and I just couldn't put my finger on who. Now I know. You remind me of Melanie Lynskey. Same vivacious smile.
I love this movie!!!! This video is wonderful!
This was already one of my favourite movies but now I love it even more! The way you two talk about the dresses breathes so much life into it. Can’t wait for the next instalment! X
I loved this movie growing up and now I want to watch it again 💕!
Its in my top 5. The 2015 Cinderella, Mirror Mirror, Hunger Games movies, Ever After and Crimson Peaks are all really beautifully costumed...for me
The court dress is actually my favorite in this movie. Loved it from the very first time I ever saw it. :}
Now I want to watch Ever After again!🥰😁🍻
I have always loved this movie. It's one of my favorite Cinderella tales. Angelica Huston is absolutely delicious as the wicked stepmother.
Omg..I love this movie so much. But what I really want is that head piece (everyone knows which one I'm talking about) 😄
So true 😂😂😂
My favorite dresses are the red velvet dress and the blue/silver dress! I'm a sucker for blue!
Today I am going to try and pattern Princess Buttercups orange-red dress. And one day I will save up and get the appropriate wool from a shop in Germany. But until then I'm going to make a just slightly more modernized version. Twice. For my winter dresses, one out of merlot wool surge and one out of prussian blue wool surge.
basically I'm going to put buttons on the front instead of lacing up the back, inspired by Princess Grace of Monaco's wedding dress. Pockets. Some, but only some volume out of the sleeves (I don't have enough fabric for that) and instead of those darts in the bosom I am going to pull it into slight blousing in the front, and lower the front waistline by 2" to 4". It will be more flattering on me that way.
Quick comment before I finish the video, but Scraps and Sequins also posted an Ever After video just a couple of minutes after yours. I wasn't paying attention to the notifications and thought it glitched for a moment. (edit: this collab is fantastic!)
LOVED this video! Ever After was such an important part of my childhood and this made me so happy!!
So, after 30 seconds of watching this video I decided I had to watch the movie... So now after 2 hours I am back to finish your video haha. The costumes are amazing!
I hope yall do more of these ✨😫
I loved this video and your takes on the costume. I love Ever After and half of the reason I watch this movie again and again is because of the dresses. I love them. They have inspired me a lot.

That was wonderful. I just kept saying, "Yes!!" and "How did I miss that??" Thanks so much for the fun collab. Take care
This was so much fun... now I need to find and watch the movie again!
My favorite movie! I was 15 when it came out and I have probably watched it hundreds of times since then. The costumes have always been favorites of mine.

Do you have a video on making this purple lace up top you're wearing? Or what it's called? I love it so much!!
I have to watch this with my teenager.
I love this movie! I just finished making her court dress, I want to make more of them!
So cool
I love this movie! I made the pearl snood for my headdress for my wedding. Still love it!
I never saw the film, but now I really want to.
I love this movie!
Love this movie too
the dress is beautiful.
You look like Jacqueline. I honestly thought that's who you were lol. Thanks for the in depth analysis I love the fashion in this movie
This is one of the best costume films and I believe the most beautiful Cinderella gown and shoes.

I love this movie
ESPETACULAR.,.INCRÍVEL..MARAVILHOSA
Looooove this movie
My thoughts on the Breathe dress it was her mother's court dress.
dont want to change your mind i concur >_>
I wish you would talk about the stepfamily'sdresses as well.
The costumes in this movie are nice, but my choice for best costumed films still has to go to my first costuming love, The Lord of the Rings.
Ever after is the only chick flick I’ll watch besides the princess bride.
I have never heard of this movie, but again I'm 69 so that probably is why. Where can I see this movie? What streaming service or channel is it available on? I'm in the U.S.A. but I do have Acorn and BBC America, plus the regular BBC. Please let me know. I would like to see it now just for the clothes! Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me!
@Anna Patricia Thank you so much!
It's also on Disney plus. It is such a wonderful movie. Hope you like it. God bless 💝
It would have been nice to have had longer views of the dress while you were chatting.
I think her blue bra type garment is meant to represent short stays.
Aaaah I also enjoyed the costumes of 2019 Little Women and I feel like I have to conceal that fact from everyone in the universe lol
Historical accuracy is good for historically accurate movies, however, this is fantasy.. no rules needed.
The 2019 Little Women is the most researched and thoughtfully executed film of Louisa May Alcotts book. A lot of costube was awfully disengenuous about the film and it's intentions. 😤
I love Jaqueline and her camicie, with those dreamy sleeves!!!
