"gafete" usually means fastening, and the most normal kind of fastening for these garments is press stud/popper. However it can also mean hook and eye clasp, so unless you can check back with your client, it might be best just to go with 'fastener' or 'fastening'.

Hi Giovanni, I think gusset is a bit classier, in UK English, ast least.

Note from asker:
| Hi Denise, I really appreciate the time you're devoting to my question. I forwarded images of the options to my client for him to decide. Could I use "crotch" instead of "gusset"? Would that be wrong? |
