The term PAGEANT WRAP is a combination of two words, SASH and WRAP. A SASH is a long band of fabric worn over one shoulder and across the body, usually made of silk or velvet and often decorated with embroidery or jewels. It is commonly worn in beauty pageants and other formal occasions. A WRAP is a type of clothing that is wrapped around the body and tied at the waist. It is often used as a cover-up for swimwear or evening wear. Together, the term PAGEANT WRAP refers to a garment that combines a SASH and a WRAP, typically worn by beauty pageant contestants.
