with front yoke

By definition, yoke is "Fitted portion of garment, usually at shoulders or hips, designed to support rest of garment hanging from it" (from "Vogue Sewing"). It's not that mysterious than it sounds - I bet you see it everyday, unless you're a 100% T-shirt and buggy pants kind of guy!

Most jeans have back york, and man's shirts have back yoke panel. For woman's clothing, it often comes with additional effect, such as contrast yoke (different fabric), gathered/ruffled yoke, embroidered yoke, and so on.

Here are some of the samples, but you will find it everywhere.

the upper front bodice has a different fabric accent/is accented with a different fabric

Or: The upper front bodice is has a different fabric (sewn on)
The upper front bodice uses a different fabric...

--- I think that using the fashion industry term of "bodice" is appropriate here rather than using words like breast or chest area. Bodice is a more general term that refers to the upper part of the garment from the neck to the waist and no longer is merely the traditional word that refers to a “corset” type look.

--- Here is a definition of切替 from “kotobank”:
http://kotobank.jp/word/切替え
洋裁で、切り込みを入れて、別布や共布を接(は)ぎ合わせること。

Here are some actual photos of “kirikae” which is using another fabric on a clothing item:

It depends on the look of the actual garment but if the fabric is the same (as opposed to using a different color/patterned fabric) one can say:
The upper front bodice is accented with a separate piece of fabric sewn in.
The upper front bodice features a separate piece of fabric sewn in.
