About Dor-Ne
For over 90 years, Dor-Ne Corset Shoppe has been Washington's most trusted destination for expert bra fittings, specialty foundations, and personal service that's impossible to find anywhere else.
Our Story
Dor-Ne Corset Shoppe opened in 1932 with a simple mission: to help women find foundations that truly fit. In an era when most department stores offered a narrow range of sizes and little fitting expertise, Dor-Ne set itself apart by taking the time to understand each customer's needs.
Decades later, that mission hasn't changed. We still believe that a properly fitted bra, corset, or shapewear garment can transform how a woman feels in her own body — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Today, from our Silver Spring location, we serve customers from across the Washington metropolitan area and beyond. Many of our customers have been coming to us for years, and many were sent by their mothers and grandmothers before them. That kind of loyalty is something we don't take for granted.
1932
Dor-Ne Corset Shoppe opens its doors in the Washington, D.C. area, serving women seeking quality foundations and expert fitting guidance.
1950s
The shop expands its selection to include a wider range of sizes and specialty garments, earning a loyal following among women who struggled to find proper fits elsewhere.
1970s
As fashion evolves, Dor-Ne adapts — adding lingerie, hosiery, and accessories while maintaining its commitment to fit and personal service.
2000s
The boutique relocates from its previous address to a new location, continuing to serve the greater Washington community with the same dedication to fit and personal service.
Today
Over 90 years in, Dor-Ne remains a trusted destination for bra fittings, hard-to-find sizes, corsets, shapewear, and specialty garments — with the same personal attention the shop was founded on.
