I sure do. I'm a 50's girl.
We called them crinoline half slips.
I had 3 of them and we would dowse them in thick sugar water and dry them laid out in a circle on the floor.
In those days most of us didn't have the money for starch but we could sneak the sugar, to make them stand out stiff.
I would wear all 3 under my skirt. Some girls wore as many as 5 or 6.
I had 2 felt poodle skirts, 1 black, with a pink poodle and the other was pink with a white poodle.
And don't forget the saddle oxfords.
Now . . . . those were the good old years.
I just loved jitter bugging to Jerry Lee Lewis's, A whole lot of shakin Goin On.
Oh, Yah!

Yes, I remember poodle hair styles, skirts and ruffled petticoats. I grew up in New Orleans and those things were very popular in the 50's. I have naturally curly hair so a poodle cut was great for me. Every Friday night I wore my ruffled petticoat with a circle skirt to the Record Hop. If boys didn't ask us to dance, we danced with each other.

I had a felt poodle skirt with a chain around the poodle's neck! LOL
Also had a patch work quilted skirt and a cordoroy skirt - all wide enough to accommodate my gazillion petticoats....we used to compete to see who could wear the most petticoats! LOL

No to the hairstyle-had the skirt in Kindergarten. Loved it. Made them for daughters as every year their school had a "back to the 50's dance" I can still see them twirling. My petticoat had an inflatable tube running through the hem. You blew it up and it was the size of a hula hoop!!

Yes. I seem to recall a poodle skirt that was grey with a pink poodle on one end and a pink telephone on the other with a pink phone line between the dog and phone. Go figure.

Long live the 1950's!
Sure do, wore them.....never actually had a "poodle" skirt (that must have been a so. California or east coast thingie) but had the "poodle" haircut - where I lived, we called it the "Gina Lollabrigida"....
Rolled down bobby socs and white bucks completed the look in my area.

Yup, I had a poodle skirt with those scratchy slips underneath.
