If you're a fan of vintage clothing, then you may want to own a poodle skirt. Poodle skirts grew in popularity during the 1950s and featured a caricature of a poodle on the design of the skirt. Find vintage poodle skirts to add to a collection or to wear as part of a Halloween costume.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Find poodle skirts through a vintage clothing dealer online. You can find a very large collection of high-quality vintage poodle skirts as well as poodle shirts on Annie Poodle Skirts. Find vintage poodle skirts and 1950s-style dresses through Hey Viv as well.

2. Bid on a vintage poodle skirt. Online auctions give you a chance to get a bargain on the poodle skirt you desire.

3. Go to thrift stores. Although you can find poodle skirts online, you may get better deals by scouring the local thrift shops. If you're worried about authenticity, you may want to have it examined by a professional collector.
