Close-fitting upper part of a dress (6)

I believe the answer is:

bodice

(Other definitions for bodice that I've seen before include "Upperpart of woman's dress" , "Top part of a dress" , "tight-fitting costume?" , "Sexually explicit historical novel" , "Upper part of woman's dress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
