Chef's attire (5)
I believe the answer is:
apron
'chef's attire' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "Space in front of curtain" , "Airport area for manoeuvring and loading planes" , "Area for aircraft not in use" , "Protective garment in kitchen" , "skirt" .)
