The poodle skirt was a fashion trend that became very popular in the 1950s. Teens and girls wore them as a way to express their individuality. The poodle skirt was often coupled with a peterpan collar blouse with either a round or pointy neckline. Accessorizing the entire look were wide belts, cat eyeglasses, bobby socks, 50's sweaters, and saddle shoes.


The initial poodle skirts became popularized by Charlot who was a character from the film "The Pink Panther". Teenage girls began making their own skirts at their homes. They were simple to make and this is why they became so well-known. Even people with no knowledge of sewing could create the skirt in a few short hours. They would still be in a position to wear it to the next dance. Many pattern makers took note and started making patterns based on the poodle skirts that Charlot made so popular.


Poodle skirts used consist of wool. However, as the fashion grew popular the use of silk and cotton was swiftly substituted. A number of these early Poodle skirts also had an elastic waistband that was grosgrain-colored to keep the skirts in their place. In the end, zippers and buttons were included in the skirts.


A poodle is made today from modern felt, which is designed to be similar to the vintage felt found in the earliest dogs. The waistband of the modern poodle skirt is usually adorned with an elastic sewed with a zigzag stitch. The poodle applique is normally stitched over the upper part of the skirt, generally close to the hemline.


Online, you can buy several poodle patterns. Some are already made and ready to be ironed onto a skirt. Some are made of felt, and can be placed on top of clothing using a hand. Some have a felt bow or other type of decoration.


Poodle appliques can have instructions on how to secure them. It is crucial to follow these steps carefully to ensure that you don't damage the flannel lining or the poodle skirt that is underneath.


It is possible to buy skirts that feature an embroidered poodle on it, but the majority of people prefer to make their own pattern. This is done by buying a poodle that has been made at a craft store or cutting one from felt. The preferred material is felt since it's more durable and is easier to stitch with a hand. You can make your own appliques by using cardboard, paper or other materials that are thin and stitchable.
