Pageant accessories often include SASHES, which are long strips of fabric worn over the shoulder and across the body. They are usually decorated with words or symbols that represent the pageant's theme or purpose. SASHES are typically made of satin or velvet and come in a variety of colors. They can also be adorned with sequins, rhinestones, and other embellishments. SASHES are an important part of pageant attire and can help to make contestants stand out from the crowd.
