Welcome to our Renaissance Bodice advanced search facility. The purpose of this page is to help you quickly and easily find the Renaissance Bodice you're looking for.
Today, the term bodice
refers to an upper garment that either has removable
sleeves or no sleeves. They are often low-cut and
were worn in Europe from the sixteenth century to
the eighteenth century.
Bodices were worm
over a corset or sometimes, in lieu of one. They
cover from the waist to the neck and typically to
achieve the required shape and to support the bust,
they sewed things into them to stiffen them. Mostly
they used bents (a type of reed) or later, they used
whalebones.
Modern bodices are more comfortable, but in order
to achieve the 'proper' shape, the wearer still has
to cinch them up pretty tight.
Bodices are commonly seen today at SCA events and
Renaissance Faires.
