Can anyone help me replace my lost skirt?

I bought, many years ago, two "parachute bustle" skirts one in black and one in grey from - I think - the Freemans catalogue. They were a heavy jersey type fabric and had elastic waists and were extremely comfortable to wear while being a little bit unusual.

I've actually lost them both but it's the grey one I'm keen to replace. The black one disappeared long ago.

I'm sure I had it a few years ago but DH and I have turned the house upside down looking for it, even the loft was searched to no avail. St Anthony has been petitioned. No joy. It seems it's just gone.

So... I have attached a picture of a similar skirt which, unfortunately, is in America and costs a fortune even before extortionate shipping. And has a fixed waist anyway. Does anybody have one like this they'd be willing to sell or know where I can find one? It's a very long shot I know.
I've scoured the internet and come up pretty much empty.

Can anyone help? Thank you.

None quite the same but maybe the same kind of look? I searched pick-up skirt and bubble skirt

I’m sure All Saints had something similar (like a grown up puffball skirt, try eBay.

Thank you all. These are all pretty nice - no exact matches but I might still have to go on a spending spree 👍🏼😂

"Pick up" skirt is one I hadn't tried. I will try that now. I did search hitch skirts though. Ebay is letting me down. Tried Vinted too. Found plenty of nice stuff but alas...

Thank you all for your help. Some good choices there considering my niche request. In the end I bought an 8 panelled flared skirt and sewed in the parachute hitches myself.

It's not the same as my original of course. But I'm happy with it.
It fits (I'm pretty short) and wasn't too expensive. 😊
What do you think?
