String-tie belt Explanation: In these types of cases、it would be safer to request a photo of the item from the client. Although I am 95% sure they are talking about the waist area, the term can also be used to denote a tunic's shoulder strap(s). However, since the word is followed by 「ベルト通し付」, it is obvious that it is a string-tie belt |

peer agreement (net): +1same fabric strings Explanation: I'm not sure if there is an exact English terms expressing this, but the meaning of this word "共―” is; 共布/ともぎれ/ともぬの： same fabric....using the same fabric of the garment front side 共ひも/共ベルト： String, belt, (or belt loops) made using the same fabric of the garment front side Or "common" fabric (to the garment body) may work. |

string waist tie / with matching string waist tie Explanation: 1) Yes, 共ベルト･ベルト通し付 would be “matching belt with belt loops" becomes it comes with a matching belt, etc... 2) A “共ひも” is usually a waist tie of a matching (using the same) fabric sewn up as a thin rope or ribbon-like tie, but sometimes it can be a thin cord or rope which is not necessarily of the same fabric – however, it “matches” or "comes along with" the outfit. 3) It's impossible to know for sure without actually viewing the item. 4) It is a loose thin tie for around the waist as contrasted to the conventional image of a "belt" which has a stiffer quality and often made with an inner support. 5) The last website that I’ve posted below is an example of a “matching waist tie” that does not use the same fabric. 6) I'm sure that there is a photo of the item in the "actuals" in that case, I think "waist tie" or "matching waist tie" would be sufficient. Here is are some websites with outfits using various waist ties. They can be called waist tie belt or waist tie. http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Tammy-Mars-Womens-Ti...
