Approaching Bond in flimsy clothing? (7)
I believe the answer is:
nightie
'flimsy clothing?' is the definition.
'nightie' can be an answer for 'clothing?' (nightie is a kind of clothing). I am not certain of the 'flimsy' bit.
'approaching bond' is the wordplay.
'approaching' becomes 'nigh' (as in 'the end is nigh').
'bond' becomes 'tie' (both can mean a connection).
'nigh'+'tie'='NIGHTIE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nightie that I've seen before include "Sleeping garment" , "What retiring lady assumes" , "one put on after dark" , "Familiar bed-wear for woman" , "put on at end of day?" .)
