A girdle is an undergarment designed to alter the silhouette of the body, creating a slimmer appearance through constriction. Girdles are uncomfortable to wear and represent valuing something superficial over something more authentic. Are you putting something out into the world that is not quite the truth? If so, the girdle in your dream may be pointing out the discomfort you are suffering in order to present the variation of truth you are perpetrating.
