Café Princess Diary in Ehwa!

4/1/2015

1 Comment

 
Two weeks ago, I had an extremely unique café experience.... I went to a Princess Café! This café is located near Ehwa Women's University and is a place where you can pay to try on different kinds of dresses, from wedding dresses to traditional Korean Hanbok.  The prices range from about 10,000 to 40,000KRW, and you are allowed to wear the dress for an hour and can take pictures in it. With the dress, you get a free drink, but you must  drink it either before or after you wear the dress. You are also not allowed to do makeup or use the bathroom in the dress. A lot of girls will drag reluctant boyfriends there to try on wedding dresses but it is also a really fun place to play dress up with your gal pals. At first I was reluctant to go because the prices seemed a little steep at first, but this is probably one of the most unique experiences I've had. To drink, we each ordered an oreo milkshake which we drank beforehand.

They ask you first if you want to try on a dress or hanbok, and in the spirit of embracing Korean culture we decided to wear hanbok. The hanbok I ended up choosing was actually extremely ornate and colorful, and only ended up costing me 25,000KRW. They give you little paper doll sized cutouts of the dresses to choose from.

The girl working there was so helpful and friendly (even more so when I spoke Korean to her) and she did our hair for us and took pictures. We were the only ones there as it was kind of late in the day.
