Bodice
A bodice is a piece of clothing for women. It resembles a corset and wraps completely around the body from the hips to the upper chest. It often acts as a support for a skirt and sleeves . Since a bodice is most often tightly fitting, it is often worn above a slip, shift or undershirt . A bodice is often stiffened; being pannelled, boned or wired.
It dates from early medieval times.
