sashes

Pageant winner's bands

Sashes is the plural of sash, which has two distinct meanings.

A sash is a decorative band of fabric worn around the waist or over the shoulder, often indicating rank or achievement: beauty queens wear sashes, military officers display medals on sashes.

Separately, a sash is the frame holding the glass in a window, typically the movable part that slides up and down: The old sashes were painted shut.
