Let's Dress Up! — Local services in New York

What a fun place to bring your princess-loving child. It's like going to a birthday party where every child is the birthday girl/boy. The owner and the staff are wonderful with the kids, making every visit magical for your child; it's a place where pretend and the "real world" come together. Princess Play sessions cost $35 and last 90 minutes; Princess Mini Camp sessions cost $50 and last 120 minutes. Great cost to value! The look of wonderment on my daughter's face when we walked inside for the first time...that right there was worth it! A big part of the fun for my daughter was the process of getting dressed up. It's a cozy space filled with princess dresses galore, plus purses, jewels, tiaras, shoes...and, yes, there's makeup and nail polish. This means clear sparkle nail polish, eyeshadow, and lipgloss. All makeup and nail polish is applied by a member of staff. At the back of the space is a large, fancy table with candelabras, real porcelain tea cups, teapot, and plates. The children have tea and a snack together, complete a themed craft, and listen to a story together. Your child's time at Let's Dress Up is captured in an individual portrait photo of your child that is affixed to a card, which is decorated by your child. Princess Mini Camp included an additional, more extensive, themed craft to take home. Themes for the sessions change often. Did I mention that it's drop off? Bonus. Be advised: there is hardly room to park more than 1 stroller inside. Strollers need either to be folded and brought inside, or left outside in all weather. Rain and snow, high winds, etc. We've gone twice already and we will...

I brought my daughter today for a Princess Play dress-up experience at Let’s Dress Up !

From the moment we arrived, the staff was amazing. The owner, Judy, was fantastically hospitable and warm—clearly passionate about creating a magical environment for children. And one of the employees, Letina, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, engaging, and incredibly attentive to my daughter. They were absolutely great with all the kids.

The program itself is a structured 90-minute Princess Play session: kids choose from a wide selection of princess and glamour dresses, add matching jewelry, have a bit of makeup, pose for a photo, enjoy a themed tea party, hear a story, color, and even get a final dance party before wrapping up

. The whole experience felt thoughtfully curated and very special with glittery make‑up, lovely costuming, and a real fairy‑tale atmosphere. . We will absolutely be coming back. I highly recommend Let’s Dress Up for playdates and birthday parties, as it’s a charming and safe choice for young princess lovers. Thank you to the entire team—and especially Judy and Letina—for making my daughter’s...

Great spot to bring your girls for playtime. Staff was friendly and everything was very orginized. Loved all the details. The only thing I feel can be improved is the accommodation of special needs children. My daughter is borderline autistic and has severe anxiety. When we were leaving, she tantrumed badly, making it very difficult for me to get her dress off and clothes on. Instead of helping or offering a space for me to take her, one of the staff kept sushing her, making it very embarrassing for me. I had to take her outside so she could calm down. Other than that, it was a very lovely place and both my girls enjoyed...
