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?
