Thank you for your comments Nikki. I'll keep them in mind for future posts.

@ Kimberly Hello Kimberly. Just a hint for future posts of a similar ilk, when it's something visual and it is possible to reference an image, then it's a good idea to do so. That way, it boils down to a search for a similar image in the target language with one or two key words in there.
Details can be important : finding out it was in fact a knitted garment and not a fabric on, for example. The definition posted included the word "chemisier" which to me , but that may just be me, suggests fabric. Learning that it was knitted when logging on this morning, well, it was 100% clear what you were describing. 8-) You'd probably have obtained a more precise answer almost immediately, which can be helpful when a translation is urgent.

The one I have to translate is knitted, and resembles the one on the supplementdame website

Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jun 26, 2013:

Any of these come close?

Also, the images I find in FR are generally knitted. Is yours knitted or made of fabric?

Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jun 26, 2013:

Kimberly Good afternoon,
Instead of keeping the image a secret, could you let us see too please? Or perhaps find an image we can check out too on the web. It then comes down to finding an image on a UK/US site (or sites) of the same type of garment.
By the way, is this US or UK target?

Yes, that's what I've noticed too - chauffe-coeur do seem shorter than cache-coeur.

The photo that I have of the "chauffe-coeur" is very short, it only comes to about the bottom of the rib cage.

Catharine Cellier-Smart Jun 26, 2013:

Cache-coeur? The French term "cache-coeur" is used in English, but it does tend to be slightly longer and thinner than a « chauffe-coeur ». What do you think?
