Etsy Skirts vs. Vintage-Inspired Skirts

You might think that vintage-inspired would cost less than actual vintage, since copies are generally considered to be less valuable than the real thing. But this is not the case when it comes to clothing. There are many vintage dresses on Etsy that are pretty old (40s/50s) that you will pay a pretty penny for, but when it comes to the basics you can often find real vintage stuff for cheaper than the vintage-inspired stuff.

This post is focusing on skirts alone. I hope you enjoy my picks! I had fun scouring Etsy for look-a-likes to the skirts I found on modern day sites.

Key:
MC = ModCloth
Urban = Urban Outfitters
Ruche = Ruche

Hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season! I've been listening to Christmas music all day and got to hang out with Santa earlier. :)
