DIY vs. Buy
When choosing the best Cinderella costume for your child, you will need to decide whether you’ll make a DIY dress or buy the costume. When deciding this, you’ll need to consider whether the material costs and effort is worth a homemade dress. If it isn’t, you might want to go with a store bought costume. On the other hand, by making your child’s costume yourself, you can give a personalized look, guaranteeing that no other child will have the same costume as your child.
Pick a Favorite Version
There are many different versions of Cinderella. The classic version generally has a light blue dress with clear glass slippers. Other versions can include anything, from a pink ball gown to a fancy medieval dress to a cute toddler ballerina dress. Once you know which version of Cinderella’s dress your child wants, you can start shopping.
Browse Online
After you have a visual for the Cinderella costume you’d like to buy, head to your computer for some online shopping. Even if you have costume stores close to where you live, you are oftentimes limited in the available selection. Most likely, all of the Cinderella dresses will be the same without any variety. By browsing online, you can find the perfect costume with the added bonus of the perfect price! We love CostumeExpress because they have a great selection.
Check the Accessories
When choosing the best Cinderella costume, be sure to check the accessories. Many times, the picture of the costume includes the accessories, but when you open your package, you’re sorely disappointed with a lack of accessories. Try to find a costume that includes everything. If this isn’t possible, then make sure that the company you purchase the costume through also offers accessories at an additional cost.
Shopping for Cinderella costumes for your kids is fun, even if it can be difficult finding the perfect costume.
What are your best tips for choosing the perfect Cinderella costumes for your kids?
I have all boys, but I know my nieces love to dress up as princesses. They have a bunch of costumes.
Yes the accessories are very important, they really top off the costume and sometimes they are not included. So you definitely have to check first, if buying online.
When we buy themed costumes, shoes are key! We normally steer away from costume shoes and buy real shoes for comfort.
My daughter loves to dress up for any reason and has already asked for a Cinderella dress. I like the longer styles because I feel they are more age appropriate.
These are some great tips. I think the Cinderella movie is quite popular right now. Your guide here will come in handy for a lot of parents.
My girls are a little past this stage but I remember it all too well! Such fun they had being little princesses!
I really love the Cinderella costume from the movie. I haven’t seen it, just the pictures and stuff and its gorgeous. The shoes too!
I know someone my daughter went to school with whose mom could DIY picture perfect princess costumes. On the other hand, I had to buy them for my daughter.
Cinderella costumes are going to be in such high demand. It will be so worth it to find some nice accessories.
Love the blue dress and, of course, the glass slippers. I bet there will be a lot of Cinderellas trick or treating this year.
This slippers are super fancy. My daughter would love this!
Any of these would do they are all adorable.
I found an awesome one on amazon last Christmas. I hate the dresses with glitter.
I think these costumes would make many little girls very happy. Who doesn’t want to feel like a princess?
The glass slippers are too cute. I would have loved that pair as a kid!
How cute are these! I know that Cinderella is really the in thing right now with the movie coming out. I bet a lot of little girls will be dressing up for months to come.
Wow Olfa – I can see how a little princess would love this – great post sharing the how-to’s and beautiful images
What some gorgeous dresses, it’s nice there are different styles as it means each princess can be slightly unque 🙂
These are such cute costumes. The little glass slippers are fantastic. My daughter used to love to dress up when she was little.
I wish they had costumes like these when I was a little girl. I loved playing dress up and pretending that I was a princess.
Cute Cinderella outfits. I remember my daughter had a version of Cinderella dress when she was little
My little Peanut loves the Disney princesses…and she loves to dress up like all of them. Glad there are so many options.
Quality accessories are so important. Otherwise stock up on the bandaids. Little plastic shoes can leave the worst blisters.
My best tips are to check out sales the day after halloween. The kids are allowed to get 2-3 outfits each at heavily discounted prices. They use these outfits to play dress up year round.
Aww look at the little glass shoes. I like those. I’m glad Cinderella is popular again. 🙂
My daughter and her friend went to see Cinderella last night at the movies. They really loved it.
Can’t wait to see Cinderella
You have to have the glass slipped to complete the outfit! 🙂
The girls love to play dress up and have the long Cinderella dress along with, Snow white, Princess and some I’m not sure what to call. They love them and do little plays for us sometimes.
I love this Cinderella outfit. I know my granddaughters would too !!
