Modesty piece

English to Spanish Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Bridal
Hi, could anybody tell me how 'modesty piece' would be translated into Spanish (Spain).

The context is wedding dresses. A removable piece of fabric which is used to cover up the cleavage area inside churches etc.

Thanks.

GRACE KELLY WITH A MODESTY PIECE

She wears a modesty piece in what would otherwise be a decolléte dress. I don't know whether it was her USA sense of prudence or Prince Ranier's jealousy who had the modesty piece added.*** Princess of Monaco - Kelly's wedding was a 40-minute civil ceremony that took place in the Palace Throne Room of Monaco on April 18, 1956, and was broadcast across Europe.
