Person with diamonds in upper part of dress (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bodice

'upper part of dress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'person with diamonds' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'diamonds' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before).
'bod'+'ice'='BODICE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for bodice that I've seen before include "Top part of a dress" , "Upper part of female dress, shoulder to waist" , "Old undergarment is visible" , "Spencer" , "Top of a dress above the waist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
