	Zona - The Girdle Encyclopedia
		A girdle is an elastic garment designed to shape and smooth a woman's figure from the waist to the thighs.
		His new understanding of the way in which women's bodies should interact with their clothing, and his invention of the girdle, was a major reason why the corset, which had determined the shape of women's clothing for most of the previous five centuries, went out of fashion.
		Although girdles became the subject of jokes and the object of resentment when they went out of style in the 1970's, it is important to remember how much they were a part of the allure of the far more glamorous 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's.

	Girdle Fascination
		Not that anything like all women understand or appreciate what girdles have to offer, but when they do, and their action is rewarded by the male response, there is a dimension to life, loving, and living which is truly unique for both female and male.

	Nita Creations - Girdle, Polish and Symmetry
		Four main reasons for grading girdle thickness are (1) the quality of the gem/metal interface, (2) the girdles visibility, (3) variance in the girdle thickness and (4) the possibility of excess carat weight contained in the center, most weight intensive area of the diamond.
		This girdle is subject to fracture at the gem/metal interface in jewelry setting and in active wear when the diamond is subjected to impact.
		Thick to extremely thick girdles can hold increased percentages of the overall carat weight causing a reduction in the girdle diameter and with extremely thick girdles causing as much as a 25% reduction in the diameter measurement due to excessive carat weight retention in the center of the diamond.

	Girdle
		Girdles were widely popular for about 50 years from the early to the mid 1900's.
		Made orignially of rubber and later elastic, girdles smooth the body line and made the wearer appear to have a nicer form. Girdles replaced the very restrictive corset and in turn were replaced by the panty girdle. Like corsets and other types of vintage sexy lingerie, girdles are enjoying something of a renaissance.
		The first girdle was made of rubber and was likely created by the French fashion designer Paul Poiret for American ballroom dancer Irene Castle sometime between 1910-1912. Follwing a corset pattern he used rubber so that Irene's dancing could be more fluid.

		Sometimes a diamond can have a perfect medium girdle around ninety-nine percent of its diameter and is only very thick at one very minute isolated point.
