About Bradoria

The shape is yours. The fit is ours.

For nearly two decades, from a single Brooklyn storefront to six boutiques and a fitting practice, we have worked on a single problem — making lingerie that fits the bodies it was actually designed for.

What we believe

Beauty is not the victory of "skinny." Beauty is what a thoughtful, independent, fully-occupied woman looks like in the mirror — at rest, in her own skin.

The Bradoria thesis

How it began

One woman, one problem, thirty years.

I
Act I · Hong Kong · 1994

A bodysuit that was tight in the wrong places, expensive, and worn exactly once. Jenny Xu — Bradoria's founder — stood in front of the mirror and promised herself she would never pay to feel like that again.

II
Act II · Hong Kong · 2003

She tried a slimming injection she had heard about — the kind people whispered about as a shortcut. It triggered a hormonal disorder instead. That same year, almost by accident, she walked into a Hong Kong lingerie boutique and met the first piece of underwear that let her body relax. Shapewear.

III
Act III · New York · 2007 — now

She brought it back to the US. The first storefront opened on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn — one small room, two fitting curtains, and the conviction that fit was the entire product. Today the practice is six boutiques, a dedicated fit team, and a brand named after the work itself.

The timeline

Thirty years, five moments.

The mirror promise

A bad bodysuit, a quiet vow not to settle for it again.

On the name

Bra · doria

BRAY-DOR-EE-AH

In Greek, "doria" means "the sea" — soft, deep, capable of carrying weight, with a direction of its own. We thought of the women we already had in our fitting rooms. We put "Bra" first because the product is what we promise to do well.
