I had one...it was pink with white poodle made out of poms poms. Poodle had a black collar and leash made of sequins. The skirt was made out of felt. My Mom made it for me and my granddaughter now has it.

Gray with pink poodle! Worn with white sweater, bobbie sox, saddle shoes, hair pulled back in pony tail smack dab on the back of my head, white scarf tied around pony tail. Those were the days my friends! LOL

Had the skirt (can't remember the color though). Also had the penny loafers that you put a penny in the little slot on the front of the shoe. Remember?

Elegantly Amused blog recently had a "circle skirt" sew a-long for this: http://blog.caseybrowndesigns.com/ta...irt-sew-along/

I didn't make one in time with this, but I plan on making one as soon as I can. I have too many other projects to finish. >.<

PS - I didn't wander in until the early 1970s (please don't beat me...)

Mine too!! I wasn't born till '65, but I was in a performance choir in high school, and that was my outfit for our 50's medley, right down to the white scarf!! :)

Don't remember the color of the skirt, but the can-can was red. I really hated ironing that thing! Did you have pennys in your loafers? What about taps? Mom said no to that till she found out I just wanted the little ones. Not the 'all over the heel' kind.

I wasn't born until 53 but my older sister had a couple. One was gray and one was pink. She didn't wear them very often though.
