Black insect in female garment (6)
I believe the answer is:
blouse
'female garment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'black insect' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'insect' becomes 'louse' (synonyms).
'b'+'louse'='BLOUSE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for blouse that I've seen before include "Obelus (anag) - buttoned top" , "Shirt-like garment for women" , "Female garment" , "Top garment - so blue (anag)" , "Ladies' top" .)
