garment
shit denotes clothing or attire, whether worn by a woman or used as the image of a covering.
The attested use concerns attire or a covering: Proverbs 7:10 places it in a woman's dress, while Psalm 73:6 uses clothing imagery for violence that covers its subjects.

Both occurrences are masculine singular construct forms. In Proverbs 7:10 the form occurs in the description of a woman coming to meet a man, and the APB renders her as “dressed as a prostitute”; in Psalm 73:6 it occurs in the statement that violence covers people, rendered “as a garment.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two clauses with “dressed as a prostitute” and “as a garment.” These renderings show the verses' clothing context rather than isolating a fixed English equivalent.
