Burlesque accessory (3)
I believe the answer is:
boa
'burlesque accessory' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for boa that I've seen before include "feathers around the neck?" , "native American" , "Python" , "Snake; fur" , "Feathered neckwear - snake" .)
