Dressmaker perhaps: in fairness he'd go for tailoring (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
fashion designer
'dressmaker perhaps in fairness he'd go for tailoring' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'dressmaker perhaps in fairness he'd go for tailoring' is the wordplay.
'in fairness he'd go' anagrams to 'FASHION DESIGNER'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
