Band at a beauty pageant (4)

I believe the answer is:

sash

(Other definitions for sash that I've seen before include "type of cord?" , "Sliding window frame" , "Band worn over shoulder or round waist" , "Decorative band" , "Window frame; cloth strip (worn over shoulder)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
