Poodle Skirt Dress Girl's Costume

A Rare Find

As the successful owner of a retro consignment shop, you know a thing or two about cool styles throught time. And so does your little girl! She grew up in the racks, holding up antique gowns, slipping into some swell footwear (sizes too big for her) and twirling around in the mirror. It was the ultimate dress up fantasy! She can name the major styles, what era they come from, and the brands that began them, but there was always one piece of clothing so epic, she'd only ever heard it's name whispered: the elusive poodle skirt. 

She knows these classic skirts existed—she's seen them in fashion magazines and retro advertisements; but she's never seen one up close and personal. An authentic, intact poodle skirt is hard to come by, but we've got the next best thing. This Poodle Skirt Dress Girl's Costume will allow your little one to live out her 50s retro dreams (without damage to your inventory)!

Fun Details

Just like the original style, this pretty and proper 50s look includes a dress styled to look like a top and skirt! How ingenious! The frock boasts a black and white striped bodice made of jersey knit, as well as the signature pink flared skirt that's usually only talked about in hushed, reverent tones by fashionistas. This one has a black poodle applique, a matching faux patent leather belt, and a sheer scarf. The whole look begs for bobby socks and saddle shoes, and voila! Your gal is the height of 50s hip style!

The Whole Kitten Ka-poodle

In the end, we guess it's better she's begging you for a poodle skirt than an actual poodle, right? We'll let you know if we ever find a vintage one in mint condition. Better yet, we'll send it to you! In our minds, the more poodle skirts in the world, the better; it seems like your kiddo agrees!
