Poodle Skirt Child Costume

Go back to the good ol' days with this Poodle Skirt Child Costume. Comes with 1 Dress. The top is a fashionable off-the-shoulders design with pink and white stripes.
Customer Review: Really cute costume and good price too
This arrived quickly. Is one of the few out there that comes with the top attached which makes it easier for the girls. The poodle is cute, add some bobby socks, put their hair up and lots of Sock Hop fun. This one is great because we didn't have to try to find a top to match a poodle skirt. My other daughter used the same outfit on horseback for a horse show. Well done!
Customer Review: Cute but fell apart.
This costume is adorable, my 5 year old loved the pink color & sparkly belt, however, when it arrived the neckline was torn apart. Since I needed it right away, I took it to a seamstress to repair it. By the time Halloween night was over, it had three holes throughout the shirt part and the felt skirt was all fuzzy. Too bad since it really was a cute outfit, the material just didn't hold up at all.


Everyone loves Halloween!It's that time of year where people are encouraged to put on a costume and become someone else for a night. It's such a great way to shed some of you inhibitions, free yourself of demands and busy schedules and just have fun.Make it a family night or go out with a group of friends and enjoy "not" being yourself!

Ever wonder what the fashion was like in the 1920's? By just putting on a costume you can transform yourself back in time to the Roaring Twenties, the decade of "bath tub" gin, the Model T, the $5 workday and the movie.The costume history image in our minds of a woman during this time is likely to be the image of a Flapper. A fashionable Flapper had short sleek hair, a shorter than average shapeless shift dress, wore make up and smoked with a long cigarette holder.Today at Halloween women can easily transform themselves into Flapper Girls, Can-Can Dancers, Saloon Lady's or even Betty Boop.Men can go back in time by putting on a classic fitted Zoot Suit and stylish Fedora to play the part of a Gangster or don a baseball uniform and portray the legendary Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig.

The 1950's and 60's were decades filled with rock-n-roll music and at the heart of it all was American Bandstand with Dick Clark. It showed teenagers everywhere how to do the latest dance steps such as; the Twist, the Hand Jive and the Stroll.The 1950's fashion for men was the "bad boy" look of a white t-shirt, jeans and a leather jacket (with the collar up of course) or the "good guy" look of a letter sweater, jeans and penny loafers.One look the women opted for was the infamous poodle skirt and saddle shoes.The 60's brought with it Woodstock and the retro-hippie look of wearing mini skirts, go-go dresses and hotpants. No costume idea would be complete representing the 50's and 60's if two of the biggest names in music history weren't mentioned; "The King" Elvis Presley and "The British Invasion" of The Beatles.Every year on Halloween you'll see kids and adults alike dressed as Elvis, John, Paul, George and Ringo.These costumes are extremely popular and can be found around the world!

So this Halloween take a step back in time to the Roaring 20's, the Glamorous 50's or the Groovy 60's.It's as simple as a costume, some makeup and a wonderful imagination!
