Crossword Genius

Person with diamonds on 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'

'on' is the link.

(Other definitions for bodice that I've seen before include "Upperpart of woman's dress" , "Top half of a dress" , "Historical novel with lots of passion" , "Corset" , "which envelops the breast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
