<div> 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.
