Strip of pleated material used as a trim (5)

I believe the answer is:

frill

(Other definitions for frill that I've seen before include "Pleated strip of cloth trimming or an unnecessary extra" , "Trim" , "Gathered material" , "Extra embellishment" , "An unnecessary extra or ornamental strip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
