After a fashion bargain — as ensemble shows! (2,1,5)
I believe the answer is:
in a sense
'after a fashion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bargain as ensemble shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'IN A SENSE' is hidden in the letters of 'bargain as ensemble'.
(Other definitions for in a sense that I've seen before include "According to one possible interpretation" , "After a fashion" , "To some extent" .)
