Garment not initially from Paris! (4)
I believe the answer is:
sari
'garment' is the definition.
(sari is a kind of garment)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sari that I've seen before include "Indian robe" , "Hindu woman's dress" , "Eastern garment" , "Traditional Indian garment" , "Hindu female garment" .)
