A cummerbund is a broad waist sash, usually pleated, which is often worn with black tie.
The cummerbund was first adopted by British military officers in colonial India and later spread to civilian use.
The modern day use of the cummerbund is as an elegant fashion accessory to complement the wearing of a tuxedo
during formal evening occasions.
