Well, not so much modern as English, given that "bride" is the French term
;-)
The modern term would be a tailor's bar.

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?
