In Mideavel times a “girdle” was any form of clothing that wrapped around the waist: To encircle (a person or the part of the body) with a belt or band. It could be tight or loose, decorative or functional, ie: a sword belt vs an embroidered cloth strip that draped loosely around the waist.To fasten or secure (clothing, for example) with a belt or band.
