Figure-hugging skirt's fantastic thing for Romeo (9)
I believe the answer is:
skintight
'figure-hugging' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'skirt's fantastic thing for romeo' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'thing' is 'ntigh' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'skit' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skintight that I've seen before include "Clinging" , "(Of clothes) very closely fitting" , "Body-hugging" , "(Of garment) very close-fitting" .)
