Generation following pronounced forbidden dress (7)
I believe the answer is:
bandage
'dress' is the definition.
(I know that bandage is a more specific form of dress)
'generation following pronounced forbidden' is the wordplay.
'generation' becomes 'age' (as in age group).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'pronounced' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'forbidden' becomes 'banned' (banning is a kind of forbidding).
'banned' is a homophone of 'band'.
'age' after 'band' is 'BANDAGE'.
(Other definitions for bandage that I've seen before include "Wrapping for wound" , "Bind (a wound)" , "Dressing for wounds" , "Wrap for a wound" , "Cloth to cover injuries" .)
