What is the difference between a corset and a bodice?
1 Answer
The difference between a corset and a bodice is that one is attached to a dress, and the other is an undergarment. Bodice is the name for the top half of a dress. A corset goes beneath a dress and helps to enhance the shape of a wearer's curves. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of dresses from some of the world's top boutiques.
