My grandaughter wanted a poodle skirt for retro days at school this week.
We found the pattern in Costumes! Does that make some of us feel old???
Anyway, it turned out pretty good. Thought I'd share with you all.

HOW CUTE.. she looks so PROUD!

Oh how I remember wearing my Poodle Skirt. Along with a hot pink (Glowie fuzzy sweater) bobby socks and white buck shoes or black and white saddle shoes. THOSE WERE the good days, even though we didn't think so.

Your skirt is so cute, and your granddaughter is so adorable in it.

That is so adorable! Your granddaughter looks thrilled. I won't tell the poodles you used a CAT! :shock:

Your granddaughter looks adorable in her poodle skirt, and she looks very happy with it.

Yeah, well true I'm confused just a confused guy, but why is it called a poodle skirt if there's a cat on it?

Because the original poodle skirts all had poodles on them. The pattern we got had 7 or 8 patterns for different animals, so Mariah chose the cat. Guess I could have called it a "cat Skirt", but we "oldsters" all knew that a poodle skirt was a circle of felt with an applique on it. Now you've had your history lesson for the day. :lol: :lol:

Oh wow!Your granddaughter and the poodle skirt are adorable. She is definitely proud of it! :)

I remember Poodle Skirts well!!!! Had a grey one that Mom put in the old wringer washing machine. That poodle was never the same after that! :cry: And I just have to say that is the STRANGEST poodle I have EVER seen! :D
