Just over half moulded to the body? That's very poor (5)
I believe the answer is:
skint
'very poor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skint that I've seen before include "Hard up (sl.)" , "Impoverished" , "Hard-up" , "bust" , "Extremely poor" .)
