Poodle Skirt How-to

Wondering what to dress up like for Halloween

? A 50's sock hop girl is the perfect solution if you are looking for a fun, simple and classic costume. And the best part is, you don't even have to buy the costume; you can make it all yourself!

As we said, it's a very simple costume choice. The costume consists of a scarf for your hair, a white shirt, a poodle skirt, and a pair of white shoes. Most of these items can be found in your closet... well, maybe not the poodle skirt. But even then, it's really simple to make your own!

The simplest way to do this is to grab a skirt that you already have. The skirt should fit you a little higher on the waist than a normal skirt, and should hit you at about mid-calf. If it doesn't, that's an easy fix: just hem the skirt up a few inches, and pull the waist in a bit with a few quick stitches.

The next step is to find a poodle silhouette that you like on the internet. Print it out on normal paper, and then cut it out. Grab some fabric (black is best) and trace the outline of the silhouette onto the fabric.

After that, simply cut the shape out of the fabric and sew it on the skirt. If you would rather not make the poodle a permanent part of your skirt, you can just attach it using Velcro strips or adhesive dots. You should put your poodle on the front of your skirt, in the lower left-hand corner.

Once the poodle is on the skirt, an easy thing to add to your poodle is a collar and you can do this using ribbon. You can also give your poodle features like eyes and a nose using beads, buttons, sequins, and paint. There are many additions that you can make to your skirt that are very simple and easy!

One embellishment that you want to make sure you include is a leash. This is a classic part 50's poodle skirt ingredient! You can do this very easily by just adding a piece of ribbon going from the poodle's collar to the waistband of your skirt. And with that last touch, your skirt is done!

Putting your hair up in a ponytail and tying a scarf around it will help to complete your 50's sock hop look. You can also tie the scarf around your neck if you would prefer to keep your hair down. The final touch is to put on some horn-rimmed glasses and you are ready for a sock hop!
