If you're not opposed to second hand clothes, try a local thrift or consignment store. I've found some wonderful and well made early-era clothes that way. Also, it wouldn't hurt to check out your local antique/vintage stores. Estate sales are also a good resource. Good luck. I completely sympathize with you- it's tricky to find clothes that you'd like to wear when they are not the trend of the moment.

For some more authentic vintage skirts have a look at: http://www.candysays.co.uk/skirts.htm http://www.shockadelic.com/links.html http://www.buttons-n-bows.biz/ specialise in reproduction clothing for special events, although not really suitable for everyday wear! and of course, good old ebay has quite a lot as well.
