1. Go To A Thrift Or Charity Store
You will be amazed at just how many of these stores may be able to provide you with a dress that can be made into a Cinderella costume. Ideally you want a dress that has a fitted bodice along with a sweetheart neckline and preferably capped sleeves. Plus you should be looking for those where the skirt reaches to the floor at all possible.
If you are having problems finding one that matches these requirements then look for those that can be altered. For example choose a dress that has the right bodice and neckline but long sleeves which can then be shortened. You could also for example look to see what long skirts that they have and which can then be attached to the bottom of the dress you have selected.
2. Make Your Own
This is something you can do if you feel you have the necessary sewing skills. There are plenty of patterns now available for both children and adults that can be used to make such a costume for the next Halloween event you attend.
