No, it is not. A corset is placed inside a bodice, if trying to give off more figure. If not, a corset is not worn at all. A bodice is the middle part of a dress, coming from the top of the bust to the waist.

What is the difference between a corset and a bodice?

A corset and a bodice can look quite similar, but they’re not exactly the same thing. A bodice is generally the fitted upper part of a dress or garment. Its main purpose is to shape the clothing and create the desired silhouette. It may have some structure, but it isn’t necessarily designed to tightly shape the body. A corset is a separate structured garment designed to shape and support the torso. Traditional corsets often use boning and lacing, which gives them more structure than a typical bodice. The distinction can get a little confusing when looking at historical clothing. For example, Renaissance corset styles are sometimes discussed alongside bodices and stays because historical garments varied considerably in construction and terminology. So, simply put: a bodice is usually a component of an outfit, while a corset is a structured garment used for shaping and support.

What is a corset-ripper when refering to a movie?

Not sure I think it would depend on the context. Either a over weight lady, or a rapist would be my guess. Actually this is that scene, we've all seen it, where some very attractive, young, fit couple are ripping each other's clothes off in a mania for sex, usually kissing in a way that would break caps or chip teeth. A bodice ripper/bodice slasher/corset ripper/corset slasher is a book or movie where that scene is a central and essential part of the story, from the idea of the passionate "pirate" lover ripping or slashing off the woman's corset in a period drama. It might look a bit like rape, but only if you think rape is uncontrollable desire for a specific woman and not truly violent or terrifying.

How do you care for a bodice?

A bodice is the upper part of a dress. Most often, it is a simple loose blouse which can be adorned or modified with assorted corset affairs. If you wish to clean the corset type of garment, make sure that the strings are removed, and the stays (if any) are out of the garment. The stays are the stiff strips which hold the garment straight, and they can be removed in most of the garments. Look on the inside of the garment near the bottom of the stay pocket, and there should be a tiny hole. This is how the stay is inserted and removed. When the stays are removed, it is best to hand wash the garment and let it air dry to reduce wrinkles. Iron if necessary. A fabric refresher may be used to good effect if the garment is used over a blouse.
