Trivia: The poodle skirt was invented for what occasion?
Prom
USO tour
Slumber party
Christmas
The correct answer is Christmas
So why is this answer correct? : In the late 1940s, future fashion designer Juli Lynne Charlot was short on money to buy herself a new Christmas skirt. Luckily, her mother owned a felt factory and Charlot was able to put together a skirt using motif appliques. The felt skirts were a hit, even selling out at Beverly Hills boutiques, where non-holiday designs were requested. Dachshunds were the first dogs to adorn the shirts before poodles became popular.
