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 dinner jacket during formal evening occasions.
for occasions such as Proms, the color of the cummerbund usually matches the color of the date's gown.

A broad sash, especially one that is pleated lengthwise and worn as an article of formal dress, as with a tuxedo or dinner jacket.

Forget the cummerbund and go for a formal vest (waistcoat) instead!
