Skirts
For practice and classwear, there are many cheaper options than a professional flamenco skirt, because similar skirts are worn in other styles of dance including ballroom, tribal belly dance ad liturgical dance.
They can all work well for flamenco. Just be sure there's plenty of fabric in the skirt (like the skirt on the right from Natural Spin).
Usually, if they're made by a dancewear company, they'll be fine - all dancers need freedom of movement.

Tip: A plain flamenco practice skirt can be a great foundation for a student costume. My troupe always danced in their black practice skirts, but our audiences didn't notice - we created a range of different "costumes" by wearing different colored leotards with a matching shawl around the waist, and a matching petticoat (made of cheap lining material). The long fringes of the shawls broke up the black of the skirts, and it was dramatic to see a flash of purple or red petticoat underneath as the dancers moved.
