A '''poodle skirt''' is a wide swing [[felt]] [[skirt]] of a solid bold color (often [[pink]] and [[powder blue]]) displaying a design [[appliqué]]d or transferred to the fabric.<ref>Stephen Feinstein: ''The 1950s''. 2006</ref> The design was often a coiffed French [[poodle]]. Later substitutes for the poodle patch included [[flamingo]]s, [[flower]]s, and [[hot rod]] cars.<ref>Charles Panati: ''Panati’s Parade of Fads, Follies, and Manias''. 1991</ref> [[Hemline]]s were to the knee or just below it. |

The skirt originated in the 1950s in the [[United States]], designed by [[Juli Lynne Charlot]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thevintagetraveler.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/interview-with-juli-lynne-charlot/|title=Interview with Juli Lynne Charlot|accessdate=31 January 2011|date=28 April 2010|author="the vintage traveller"}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.twolia.com/blogs/heres-looking-like-you-kid/2009/08/14/not-circle-skirting-the-origins-of-the-circle-skirt/|title=Not Circle Skirting The Origins Of The Circle Skirt|accessdate=31 January 2011|date=14 August 2009|author=Jaynie Van Roe}}</ref> It quickly became very popular with teenage girls, who wore them at [[sock hop]]s (school dances), and as everyday wear. The skirt was easy and fun for people to make at home, since the design was simple and the materials easily available. [[Movie star]]s commonly wore this skirt, and it featured widely in [[magazine]]s and [[advertising]], and many were eager to keep up with Hollywood's fashions, adding to its popularity. |

The poodle skirt remains one of the most memorable symbols of 1950s [[Americana]] and is frequently worn as a novelty [[retro]] item, part of a nostalgic outfit. A similar design of these skirts became popular in the years 2009-2010. The skirts have been shortened, and the band has stayed. |
