Since most jersey color dress forms are either a black or white, a corset on the bodice will add a pop of color. And it can conceal any rips or stains in the fabric if your dress form is used versus new.
A corset can set the dominant color tone for your tree, one that can be matched monochromatically or coordinated with other decor on your tree.
For those who like an edgier look a leather bustier like the one in the photo above is an option to the traditional lingerie style corset.
It’s possible that you have an antique corset from deceased relative or one you purchased from a vintage store. Even if it is white in color, the lace and texture of the corset will elevate the look of the bodice.
Anantique corset can help you create an “Old Fashioned” Dress Form Christmas Tree like this one, as if from the days of Dickens.
The ornaments and jewelry from that era (or ones that look like they are) complete the look.
