A poodle skirt is a wide swing felt skirt of a solid color displaying a design appliquéd or transferred to the fabric.^[1] The design was often a coiffed poodle. Later substitutes for the poodle patch included flamingoes, flowers, and hot rod cars.^[2] Hemlines were to the knee or just below it. It quickly became very popular with teenage girls, who wore them at school dances, and as everyday wear.
