Other classic words in Romance are ‘bodice’ and ‘bosom’, terms rarely heard these days outside of millinery circles.
Millinery? Not where I'd expect to encounter them.
I don't hear "bosom" much, but AFAIK "bodice" is still pretty standard for the fitted torso part of a dress. What would you call it?
