Dress part (6)
I believe the answer is:
bodice
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">dress part</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('bodice' is part of 'dress')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for bodice that I've seen before include "Historical novel with lots of passion" , "Spencer" , "Upper half of dress" , "Stays" , "Corset" .)
