Stretch fabrics, meanwhile – think underwear and swimwear – are much harder to find in good condition, and are less likely to lend themselves to the “future heirloom” category.

On the one hand you have the denim maxi skirts, which are available in abundance at second-hand sites such as Etsy and Beyond Retro. Just watch out for those measurements, as fitted skirts can easily catch you out even when it’s your usual size.
