Bradoria (Formerly Make Body) Lower Manhattan (Bowery)

Lingerie stores in Manhattan often blend into the sidewalk rhythm of the neighborhood, offering more than just undergarments. Bradoria (formerly Make Body) fits neatly into that tradition along the Bowery, where storefronts shift from vintage boutiques to late-night noodle shops in a single block.

At 28 Bowery, the shop occupies a narrow slice of real estate between a bodega and a tattoo parlor. The address places it steps from the subway and a short walk from the Manhattan Bridge, making it a convenient stop for anyone already exploring the area’s mix of old-school charm and newer galleries. Women’s clothing fills the racks here, though the focus stays on pieces meant to be seen—or not seen—up close.

Shoppers can browse without pressure, and anyone needing sizing help or a quick question answered can ring (212) 966-8899. The store’s offerings extend beyond basics, giving regulars a reason to return when they’re after something a little different.

Directions are easy to pull up on a phone; the map keeps the spot clear even when GPS wavers between Chinatown and the Lower East Side: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25a26531815c7:0xd1a3c5013bd2583b. If you’re already downtown, it’s the kind of place you stumble into while deciding where to grab coffee next.
