It’s no surprise that so many people want to dress like Cinderella at Halloween parties or for trick-or-treating. Cinderella costumes are available at stores. However, it's wise (and more original) to save money by creating your own costume. Putting together your own costume will allow you to add your own creativity.

1
Find a silky dress to be the centerpiece of your costume. Buy a dress at a thrift store or use one you already have. While light blue is the color that Cinderella is usually seen wearing, pink or any light color will work if you can’t find a blue dress.

2
Buy a pair of glass slippers. Costume stores sell hard plastic shoes that look like glass slippers. If you will only be wearing the shoes for a short period of time, you may want to buy a pair of these shoes. If you will be walking and standing for several hours, soft plastic shoes may be a more comfortable choice. While the soft plastic is not as clear as the hard plastic, the shoes are much more comfortable.

Choose a necklace and earrings. Look for jewelry that sparkles and shimmers. Silver or gold with fake diamonds are classic choices, although a necklace of blue beads goes well with Cinderella’s dress. If you don’t have anything appropriate, you can find costume jewelry at any discount store. Complete the look with a jeweled tiara.

Style your hair in a loose bun. If you already have blond hair, this step will be easy. If not, buy a wig from a costume or wig store. A wig from human hair will look most authentic, but those can get pricey. Look for something within your budget.

5
Wear white gloves for an elegant touch to your Cinderella costume. Look for elbow length gloves made of cotton or lace. Fingerless gloves are generally more practical and stay cleaner.

Buy a costume if you just don’t have the time or desire to make one. There are a variety of Cinderella costumes available at stores to fit any budget. It doesn’t matter where your costume came from, just that you feel like Cinderella when you are wearing it.
