Okey.... It is not about crochet but I said that this site is about crochet and other things that interest me. I got invited to a 1950's theme Birthday Party so I made this poodle skirt with matching crinoline to wear to the party. The poodle skirt was fun to wear. Of course back in the 1950's women did not wear their petticoat (I don't even remember how to spell ptcoat lol!) showing under their skirts. I'm sure it will be very inappropriate back then. So I sort of modernize it by making the crinoline longer than the skirt.
I was too little to wear a poodle skirt back then. I got the opportunity to wash and iron similar type skirts for my older sister, especially those pleated full skirts. You have to crease each pleat of the skirt one at a time. But first, you have to wash them and then starch them stiff. It was a chore for a little kid but I'm glad I did it for my sister and now I got to wear one too!
