My style is modern vintage. I absolutely love vintage clothes, but authentic vintage doesn't have much wearability. But if you take the spirit of that vintage look and add some modern twists, I think that's when you have a truly special piece. That's what I'm going to be working toward every time I make something.
I've been obsessed with poodle skirts since 50s day in fifth grade. There are only so many excuses to wear one. So I figured, why not make one?
Of course no lady in the 50s would wear a skirt this short.
I also added some netting underneath to fluff it out a little bit.
Traditional poodle skirts had much smaller appliques, but I really wanted the dog to pop. The metallic twisted cord makes it a little more modern.
I think the decorative stitching on them hem gives it a very 50s feel.
The random idea to make a Scottie skirt for myself occured to me last February. A beloved classic taken somewhere slightly more contemporary. I guess the rest went from there.
