Juli Lynne Charlot, who has died aged 101, was an American actress, singer and fashion designer credited with creating the poodle – or circle – skirt, a wide-swing, seamless felt garment in solid colour with a bold design – often a poodle – attached to the fabric; the style became fashionable in the post-war years and the future Queen Elizabeth II wore a “Romeo and Juliet” themed poodle skirt at a hoedown in Ottawa with Prince Philip in 1951.
