The girdle may be replaced with a leather belt that is fixed to the body with a metal buckle, and a shawl may be placed over it. The girdle may be made of a shawl, which is a type of muslin or wool fabric lined from the inside, folded diagonally and wrapped around the waist in multiple circles so that its folds appear graduated and coordinated from the front.
