Make Your Own
If you possess sewing skills, it is possible to sew your own Cinderella costume with a pattern. Use Simplicity pattern 2813 for a pattern and instructions designed specifically for making either a Snow White dress or a Cinderella gown. The gown is complete with a fitted bodice, short puffy sleeves, a full floor-length skirt and a puff over the skirt. There is also a headband that can be made that is similar to the headband worn by Cinderella in the movie. The pattern can be used to make adult sizes between 6 and 20.
Shop for Thrift Store Finds
Another alternative is to shop at thrift stores or estate sales for gowns that could be used to make a Cinderella costume. Look for a gown with a fitted bodice, a sweetheart neckline, and cap sleeves. The gown should also have a full, floor-length skirt. It may not be possible to find a gown that is exactly what you need or want for a Cinderella costume. In this case, find a gown that looks as much like Cinderella's gown as possible and consider altering it to add finishing touches. For example, you could alter the sleeves to make them short, if they are long. You could also add the puff that is worn around the waist over the skirt.
Add a headband and look for shoes that can pass for glass slippers and the costume is complete.
