The poodle skirt remains one of the most memorable symbols of 1950s in the United States and is frequently worn as a novelty retro item, part of a nostalgic outfit. A similar design of these skirts became popular in the years 2009–2010. The skirts had been shortened but the newer designs retained the original waistband. Today, poodle skirts are made out of modern felt and are simply reproductions of the originals.
