Ridiculous fashion cravings, part something something

[cupcake_goth]

Long, full black skirts with sequins/beading/embroidery. You know, the sort that SOME of us would purchase at the Indian import stores in the University District or Pike Place Market.

In other words, I want back some of the skirts I had in the 90s. Which are shockingly hard to find on eBay/Etsy, and involve using search keywords that are actually slurs, but clueless sellers still use as a description.

I can blame part of this craving on Jupiter Ascending. Funeral sparkle! Black sequin accents on everything! But I suspect some of this craving also comes from discussing upper-class witch fashion in the Harry Potter 'verse with [Bad username or unknown identity: thatyourefuse"]. Dense black-on-black embroidery. Subtle beaded charms sewn into clothing. Yes. I want this.

So! Anyone have suggestions of where else I can look for these skirts?

I too miss 1990s Indian goth-friendly skirts. The store I used to buy them at here on the east coast also shut down. If anyone finds a good and well priced online source - I'd be grateful!
