The part of a dress that covers the chest and breasts is formally called the bodice, which forms the upper structured body of the garment extending from the shoulders to the waist. Within the bodice construction, the specific front panel directly covering the bust is often referred to as the bustier, front panel, or chest lining. Many modern dresses also feature built-in bra cups or internal structural underlining to provide adequate support, shaping, and modesty.
