As Humpty Dumpty said

I have been foolish.

( I left a review... )

Kirtled is a fine word, both concretely and used in metaphor. But I can find no use that doesn’t mean wearing, or draped, or surrounded.

Help!
Restore my faith in my knowledge of English words. Or tell me I’m wrong. What does kirtle mean to you? It would be mean to ask about shrivles. What did she mean?
