So today I figured I’d tackle that inverted triangle skirt hunt since my wardrobe’s screaming for fresh pieces. Started by plugging “inverted triangle skirt” into every shopping app I got – felt like digging through a bargain bin at first. Most showed either regular A-lines or pencil skirts, total waste of time.
The Big Brand Gamble
Figured I’d check those fancy department stores first since they usually nail cuts. Walked into three different places downtown, asked staff about specific silhouettes. Blank stares every time. One salesgirl kept bringing me tulip skirts like they’re the same damn thing. Gave up after an hour – apparently “inverted triangle” ain’t in retail vocabulary.
Online Rabbit Hole Dive
Switched tactics to niche boutiques later that night. Searched terms like “high waist flare skirt” and “wide hem mini skirt” instead. Finally struck gold around 2AM with these spots:
- That indie designer hub
- The Korean fashion spot
- Custom dressmaker IG page
Found these killer asymmetrical numbers with insane side slits. Watched seven YouTube haul videos comparing their sizing – runs small so I sized up. Almost bit my nails off waiting for delivery.
Discovered they structure their skirts like inverted triangles by default! Filtered by “bell shape” and BOOM. Paid extra for express shipping because patience ain’t my virtue.
DMed them my exact measurements after seeing their ad. Nearly choked seeing the price but my hips don’t lie – needed that perfect drape. Sent like five reference photos before hitting pay.
Reality Check
When parcels arrived:
- The Korean one fit like a dream right outta the box
- Indie piece needed steaming but hugged my waist right
- Custom skirt? Returned twice for hem adjustments
Spilled coffee taking flatlay pics for my style feed. Worth every sticky key on my laptop though.
Final verdict? Unless you wanna play fitting room roulette, skip brick stores entirely. And always size charts like your outfit depends on it – ’cause it damn well does. My new rotation’s fire but this treasure hunt drained three weekends easy.
