stay


Explanation:
"Stay" é um pedaço chato de plástico ou metal que dá suporte ao sutiã, geralmente colocado dos dois lados dentro de uma cobertura.

From http://www.playtexnet.com/perfect-fit/glossary.asp
Strapless/Bandeau
A bra that maintains shaping and control without the use of straps. Stays in place on wearer by incorporating unique design features, including fiberfill lining for shaping, narrow gripper elastics, **side stays**, and wider backs for better anchoring. Often done as underwire which adds additional shaping.

I know the questioner has already selected the other answer, but I\'m sorry to say that \"busk\" is never used in conjuction with \"bra,\" only with \"corset.\"

agree  Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X): yes..boy how weird..sutiã is from the French soutien gorges..and the French are not prissy about body parts yet they call it a gorge or narrow passage support. How com no one every complains about how French finds it way into Spanish and Portuguese?
