Looking for a place to buy traditional Korean dresses in Koreatown? Prices start from $100 at Leewha (pronounced Yee Hwah).

Many Korean women want to wear a hanbok on their wedding day. Shop on the second floor at Lee Wha, while the husband-to-be buys liquor and lottery tickets downstairs! Seriously though, Asian-American teens come here to use the Korean traditional dress for CosPlay (costume play).

You can have hanbok-inspired dresses customized here with organic 100% authentic silk material. (That’s their line!) Traditional Korean hair jewelry? They’ve got that covered. Even little boys and girls can be outfitted in traditional Korean clothing at this place. Oh, and wedding gifts! They sell Korean comforters (yi-bool) that make perfect presents. Gorgeous colors…

이화고전방 is right next to a tanning salon. And downstairs is Caketown Garden where you can order a big wedding cake! This is the same strip mall where you can buy Berry Nutty frozen yogurt at 38 cents an ounce.
