Circle skirts are exactly as the name suggests: skirts that form a circle (when laid flat). Circle skirts became very popular in the 1950s and are today considered a symbol of that era.
In 1947, American designer Juli Lynne Charlot created the first circle skirt with felt appliques in a Christmas theme. Charlot created more skirts for resale, which sold very quickly out of stores. She then went on to create circle skirts in a variety of themes (adding poodles) and the circle skirt trend was born!
I love circle skits for two reasons:
they look amazing on and create a great 1950s silhouette,
and because I'm crazy about the novelty prints and fabrics that were used to make them. Something about novelty print circle skits just makes me smile!
