✩✩✩✩✩ - POODLE SKIRTS OR CIRCLE SKIRTS? - ✩✩✩✩✩

Why did I make this simple and innocent retro teenage outfit and not the stereotyped, cliché, over exposed, “Poodle Skirt”? (Yes, they’re cute I know but…. keep reading please ^_^ )

I viewed the poodle skirt as overly costumey. Whenever I did online vintage fashion searches the only poodle skirts I saw where in repro shots of people pretending to be 1950's teens. The poodle skirt, it seemed, was the ultimate 1950s Halloween costume, but not really an authentic vintage look. I started to wonder if many girls in the 1950's had actually worn poodle skirts, or if the prevalence of the trend had been greatly exaggerated in memory.

- The reality is 1950's girls did wear poodle skirts, though perhaps not as often as people today might think they did. -

The real 1950's trend wasn't just for poodle skirts, it was for fun circle skirts with a wide range of cute and kitschy apliques.

- But the most common were simple circle skirts. -

In fact, most of the people who were young at that time and are still alive (May 2017) do not even remember seeing a Poodle skirt live and personally but only in magazines, movies or TV.

Just like High Fashion trends today, not for all the common people lol.

My personal belief is that Poodle Skirts were an odd enough fashion to have survived in the collective memory. But they were probably less common than any other style that came and went during that era:

【ツ】 - “We all had full skirts with full can-can petticoats in the 1950's - that was the style.
(I still have at least a dozen can-can petticoats in storage)
As far as a skirt with an actual poodle on it, I might have seen one, maybe, I dont know, but if I did, I sure dont remember it. I certainly never owned a skirt with a poodle dog on it, and if anyone did, the "poodle" was entirely incidental.
I think Poodle skirts, skirts with dogs on them, were only popular in fictionalized 1970's television and movies - like Happy Days, American Grafitti, etc.” - Susanann

【ツ】 - “From looking at photos of the era and talking with my mother (who was born in 1933, so a little old for the poodle skirt fad), it seems to me that very full skirts, particularly circle skirts, were very much in fashion for much of the 1950s. For every day most women would wear a normal slip underneath, but for dances and dressy occasions they might well use a crinoline or stiff petticoats to make the skirt stand out. Applique was also trendy during that era, and poodles were the popular dog of the day (like the Scottie dog was in the '30s). Put them all together and the poodle skirt, a circle skirt with crinolines and an applique of a popular motif, and you have an emblem of the '50s. But its popularity as an emblem today seems to be much higher than its popularity as a fashion choice then. Poodle skirts were popular, but if you took a time machine back to a random school dance in 1950-odd, you might or might not see one.” - Flodnack

【ツ】 - “I'm from the Midwest and we were always late to adopt the styles popular on the coasts. I do remember people in high school wearing that style of skirt (usually made of felt and cut in a full circle. That's why they needed "can-cans" to flare out properly.) but I'm unsure if I can remember any which were decorated with poodles. They may have been difficult to find and too expensive for the modest community where we lived.” - Tethered Kite.

【ツ】 - “I'm sure if I dug around long enough I could find a photo of my sister (class of 1960) wearing a poodle skirt outfit (without the poodle, of course, that was just a bit too precious) complete with saddle oxfords, as well as my other sister (class of 1961) wearing a prom gown with enough petticoats to look like Glinda the Good Witch. And I don't need any photos to remember riding between them in the back seat of our 1956 Mercury, being smothered by their crinolines.
However, most of that stuff was trending out even by the mid-50s.” - Kunilou.
