midriff

Between chest, hips

The midriff is the middle section of the human torso, between the chest and the waist.

The word often refers specifically to the front of this area—the stomach region that becomes visible when wearing a crop top or bikini: She wore a shirt that exposed her midriff.

Midriff-baring fashion goes in and out of style.
