Spanish term

Falso aro

Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Fashion
This refers to a type of bra - I can find images of it online, but I can't find the correct English translation as I cannot see "faux underwire", "false underwire", "fake underwire", etc used on reputable sites online.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

fake underwire

I am not 100% sure but it appears that this is a more comfortable type of bra without underwire.

It seems to be a speciality of Black Limba

Although I like your suggestion of 'faux underwire' better as it just sounds more attractive!

Bralette bra

Creo que se refiere a este tipo de sujetador. Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

A bralette bra is a perfect blend of fashion and comfort. A bralette can be used as both a crop top and a bra. It is characterized as wirefree, unmoulded and unpadded bras with so much comfort and less support. But, bralette nowadays comes in different styles and patterns and the components of bralette play an important role.

cradle bra

I went looking for bra parts ...

https://www.missmary.com/us/blog/bra-anatomy-and-all-its-par...
Cradle: The front part below and around the cups.

Then if you Google "cradle bra", you can see pictures. This refers to reinforcing that section with seaming. The seaming mimics the effect of an underwire.

Hope this helps!
