Bodices are a variation on corsets, based on patterns from various periods in history. They are generally easier to wear than corsets, sometimes with stretchy panels. Bones and lacings still feature, but are not there to force you into a different shape! The pictures speak for themselves. Bodices are generally made in small, medium and large, but do get in touch if you feel you have any special requirements.
