Some had straps that would go around the waist just like a belt. The "cumarband" (Belt in English) were mainly made of leather. For a somewhat proper "desmaal e kamar" take a regular sized bedsheet, it should wrap around your waist at least twice, you'd need someones help to tie it around your waist properly. Make sure it is tight, not too tight that you can't breath, but tight enough, then take the knife and place it between the layers at about 45 degree. If you did the above steps properly the knife would stay in there securely. good luck.
