Clothing item, originally a belt or cord around the waist (6)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for girdle that I've seen before include "Close-fitting foundation garment" , "Belt, corset" , "A belt or cord around the waist" , "Encircle" , "Roll-on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
