Korea has a really pretty one in the hanbok.
When the school held a 'hanbok day' for Chuseok there was an incredible amount of squee in this direction. SO cute and a rare chance to see the boys in pastels and silks. Super cute.
We found out about a place where we could play dress-up like big kids. (One of our Korean co-teachers was all 'Oh, you have to try hanbok')
Mi Su Da is a cultural experience in the Namsan Hanok Village close to Chungmuro station. They are associated with traditional theatre which unfortunately we did not have time for.
You can experience traditional clothing, games, music and tea ceremony. We opted for the basic package since it was late in the day which comprised of hanbok, photo and tea.
The changing area is very professional and it has excellent security. We simply wore the hanbok over our clothes and little clogs were provided for us.
As you can see, mine does not have the best fit. (Yes, Granny I was aware of it.) On the other hand Stephanie looks great, good colours, and Helen is suitably regal as an ancient queen. (Quite possibly a warrior with Taekwondo skills.)
They were also very comfortable to wear. These gave us the special squee you get from wearing a particularly floaty dress.
We had a lot of fun that day. Yes, we proceeded to prance around and strike period drama poses. I successfully retied the bows for the others and most importantly...
We looked unquestionably fabulous.
