Person cool in tight corset (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bodice

'tight corset' is the definition.

'person cool' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (bod can informally mean a person or body).
'cool' becomes 'ice' (icing is a kind of cooling).
'bod'+'ice'='BODICE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bodice that I've seen before include "Top of a dress above the waist" , "Sexually explicit historical novel" , "Upper half of dress" , "Stays" , "tight-fitting costume?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
