"Girth" most often means the distance around some solid object, usually the smallest possible such distance if the object has a complex shape. However, the words "smallest possible" are often qualified by fitness for some particular purpose. For example, the "girth" of a horse would usually be measured around its back and stomach, where a saddle might be held, than around one of the legs, which would usually be a much smaller distance.

Girth is the distance around something, such as the distance around a tree trunk, or a person's waist. A newborn baby has a bigger girth than 3 inches, so no, a woman cannot have a girth of 3 inches. A woman with a normal weight will have a girth (waistline) of around 25 inches.
