What an offended woman may do, being attached to a dress? (7)
I believe the answer is:
flounce
'a dress?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'what an offended woman may do being attached' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'woman' could be 'lou' and 'lou' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flounce that I've seen before include "Frill; walk affectedly" , "An impatient annoyed movement or a deep frill" , "Exaggerated move of impatience or anger" , "Strut" , "Preen - trimming" .)
