Bands around the waist or chest (6)
I believe the answer is:
sashes
'bands around the waist or chest' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for sashes that I've seen before include "Decorations for the Twelfth" , "They're worn over the shoulder or around the waist" , "Bands of material around waists or shoulders" , "Ornamental cloth bands me father wore in song?" , "Broad bands worn over the shoulder" .)
