Black insect in female garment (6)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
