A dress's waist or bodice 2: a floral arrangement worn as a fashion item 3: the part of the flower in which the pollen and ovules are found 4: the upper portion of the stem surrounding the base of the leaf petiole or leaf blade 5: the reproductive structure that produces pollen 6: the outer layer of a plant cell containing the chloroplasts Corsages are made from different materials, such as glass, plastic, metal, or even wood. They can be simple or have many layers with different materials used for each one. A corsage should not be confused with a boutonniere, which is a small bunch of flowers worn by a man on the lapel of his suit jacket or over his shoulder. There are two types of corsages: those that fit under the arm and those that hang down between the legs. The one that fits under the arm has several advantages; it does not get in the way when you reach for something, it does not knock against anything, and it does not get wet if it rains. The one that hangs between the legs is more attractive because it shows off the shape of the woman's body.
