Crossword Genius

Female with a fine bundle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheaf

'bundle' is the definition.
(I know that bundle can be written as sheaf)

'female with a fine' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'she' ('she' refers to a woman).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'she'+'a'+'f'='SHEAF'

(Other definitions for sheaf that I've seen before include "Stack, bundle" , "set of papers" , "Bundle of several things tied together" , "Bundle, as of reeds for thatching" , "Reaper's bundle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
