Person puts fancy decoration on tops of garments (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bodices

'tops of garments' is the definition.
(upper parts of a dresses)

'person puts fancy decoration on' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (bod can informally mean a person or body).
'puts fancy decoration on' becomes 'ices' (as in icing a cake).
'bod'+'ices'='BODICES'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
