Crossword Genius

God fastens underwear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panties

'underwear' is the definition.
(I know that Panties is a type of underpants)

'god fastens' is the wordplay.
'god' becomes 'Pan' (Pan is an example).
'fastens' becomes 'ties' (tying is a kind of fastening).
'pan'+'ties'='PANTIES'

(Another definition for panties that I've seen is " Clothes".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
