cummerbunds
Formal waist wraps
Cummerbunds are broad pleated sashes worn around the waist with formal evening wear, particularly tuxedos.
The pleats traditionally face upward.
A cummerbund covers the waist where shirt meets trousers, serving the same function as a vest but with less bulk: He chose a black cummerbund over a vest for the gala.
