The gemara  (Shabbos 10) states that a person cannot daven without a gartel 
(belt).

 I learned in a ladies' shiur once that this applies to women as well  as 
men and it means that you should have /something/ separating your upper body  
from your lower body when you daven or even when you make a bracha.  The  
waist-band of a man's pants would count, even underwear counts.  The  
shiur-lady, who IIRC was my LaMaze instructor, said if you're in the hospital  
after you just had a baby, and you want to make a bracha, you should have  on a 
houserobe with a belt or a skirt or a half-slip or even underwear with  a 
band at the waist.  You shouldn't make a bracha wearing only a  hospital gown 
with nothing underneath it.  That's what she said  anyway.
