In "Costume Close Up" by Linda Baumgarten & John Watson on page 107 describing 
a late 18th century shirt neck opening, the authors state "A 
buttonhole-stitched bride is worked at the point to reinforce the slashed 
opening. The bride appears to be a later replacement."
I have never heard of the term "bride".  Anyone know this term?
