Footwear with English suit, in which small flower pinned (11)
I believe the answer is:
espadrilles
'footwear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english suit in which small flower pinned' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'suit' becomes 'spades' (playing card suit).
'in which' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'small flower' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for river; 'small' asks for an abbreviation).
'pinned' becomes 'ill' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'r'+'ill'='rill'
'spades' going around 'rill' is 'spadrilles'.
'e'+'spadrilles'='ESPADRILLES'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for espadrilles that I've seen before include "Rope-soled shoes" , "canvas footwear" .)
