Stomacher:

(Isa 3:24), an article of female attire, probably some sort of girdle around the breast.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Stomacher:

stum'-uk-er: Used to translate pethighil (Isa 3:24 the King James Version), where the meaning is uncertain. The English word denotes that part of a woman's dress which covered the breast and the pit of the stomach. It was usually much ornamented.

King James Dictionary

Stomacher: A Fine Robe.

And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a STOMACHER a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. (Isaiah 3:24)

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Stomacher:

The Hebrew word so translated (Isaiah 3:24) describes some article of female attire, the character of which is a mere matter of conjecture.
