bodices
Fitted garment uppers
Bodices is the plural of bodice, the fitted upper part of a woman's dress or a similar garment worn over a blouse.
Historically, bodices were separate undergarments that laced tightly to shape the torso, evolving from corsets.
The word now most often appears in descriptions of formal gowns or period costumes: The wedding dresses featured beaded bodices with flowing skirts.
