Dutch: striklint
English: tie belt, sash, or ribbon belt

The term "striklint" in Dutch refers to a tie belt, sash, or ribbon belt, depending on the garment and context. It usually describes a belt or strip of fabric designed to be tied into a bow or knot, commonly seen on dresses, blouses, or coats.

Translation Options:

Tie belt
- Commonly used for garments with a functional belt that can be tied.
- Example: "A dress with a tie belt at the waist."
Sash
- Often used for wider, decorative belts tied around the waist.
- Example: "The coat features a sash for a cinched silhouette."
Ribbon belt
- Suitable for narrower or more delicate belts, often decorative.
- Example: "The blouse is styled with a ribbon belt."

Contextual Recommendation:

For practical garments (e.g., a dress or coat), tie belt is the most idiomatic.
For decorative or formal pieces, such as gowns, sash works better.

Example Translation:

"De jurk heeft een striklint in de taille." → "The dress features a tie belt at the waist."
