Asian garment attractive princess wears? Au contraire (5)
I believe the answer is:
dhoti
'asian garment' is the definition.
'dhoti' can be an answer for 'garment' (dhoti is a kind of garment). I'm not certain of the 'asian' bit.
'attractive princess wears? au contraire' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'attractive' could be 'hot' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'hot' is found in the answer.
'princess' could be 'di' (Princess Diana) and 'di' is found within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dhoti that I've seen before include "Hindu loincloth" , "Lean over; end of loaf" , "garment in India" , "Cloth round middle" , "Simple Indian garment" .)
