At that time there were nuns who wore long belts that they made into corsets. People complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t wear a long belt. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. I allow a nun to wear a belt that goes once around her body, but she shouldn’t make a corset out of it. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.” There were nuns who made corsets out of strips of split bamboo, out of strips of leather, out of strips of fabric, out of interlaced fabric, out of rolled-up fabric, out of strips of cloth, out of interlaced cloth, out of rolled-up cloth, out of interlaced strings, and out of rolled-up strings.

If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.”
