Crossword Genius

Garment varying in cut (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tunic

'garment' is the definition.
(historical type of garment)

'varying in cut' is the wordplay.
'varying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'cut'='incut'
'incut' is an anagram of 'TUNIC'.

(Other definitions for tunic that I've seen before include "Simple garment" , "Shift" , "Policeman may be in one" , "piece of clothing" , "Roman garment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
