Picking out audition outfits is so much fun–but sometimes, so tricky. It feels amazing when you find that perfect outfit, but so frustrating when you don’t. You want an outfit that:
- emulates the character, but isn’t too literal
- is easy to move in if there’s a dance portion of the audition
- you can wear again in every-day life
- doesn’t break the bank

Below is a list of the perfect Cinderella (specifically Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella) audition outfits that fit all of that criteria. They’re all Prime, they’re all rated 4 stars or above, and they’re all (basically) under $30. (I filtered the price to $25 and below, so most of them are under $25, but a filtering loophole got me)
Want something on this list? There are affiliate links all over this post, so just click that dress’s link and it’ll take you to Amazon. So easy! When you purchase through Bell Blogging, you help us give you new articles every week.
Side note: I’d pair any of these dresses with or nude or white character heels or flats. Lots of people wear regular heels to auditions, but I just think character heels look more professional. If you’re worried about ruining your dance shoes, do what I do and stick them in your bag until you get in the waiting room. You can just wear flats or slip-ons until that point.
1.) Bbonlinedress Women Short 1950s Retro Vintage Cocktail Party Swing Dresses
These are so versatile; they’re perfect for Cinderella, but also adorable for Liesl in Sound of Music, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and so much more. They’ve got loads of different colors, but these really scream Cinderella to me.

On the opposite situation, if it’s a little chilly out, Cinderella doesn’t want to freeze. That’s a different royal.

I added these on here because it’s just nice to have shorts on under flowy skirts, especially if there’s going to be a dance or movement portion of your audition. These are high-waisted so that you don’t get a roll and they don’t fall down! I’d get the one that most resembles/flatters your dress color, and you’re good to go.
Those are my picks for Cinderella audition dresses!
