The Origin of the Skater Skirt,
· You have heard of Poodle skirts and their association with 1950's fashion, but you may not know how they originated or the profound influence they have had on women's fashions since that time.
· The phenomenon started in 1947 when 25-year-old Juli Charlot needed a skirt to wear to a holiday party in Los Angeles.
· Because she couldn't sew, she cut a big circle of felt with a hole in the middle to fit her waist and appliquéd Christmas trees to it. Felt was the only material available that was wide enough to cut a complete circle skirt without any seams. The skirt was a huge hit.
· A week after the party she sold the skirt to raise money to go to design school and learn how to sew.
· Eventually as demand for her skirts grew, she opened her own factory. Although she continued to get orders, money was tight. Then a New York designer visited her factory, found her in tears, and invested enough money for the business to take off.
