Ladies’ hat with head backed with open-weave fabric (6)
I believe the answer is:
bonnet
'ladies' hat' is the definition.
(hat worn by women)
'head backed with open-weave fabric' is the wordplay.
'head' becomes 'nob' (I've seen this in other clues).
'backed' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'open weave fabric' becomes 'net' (I've seen this before).
'nob' reversed gives 'bon'.
'bon'+'net'='BONNET'
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bonnet that I've seen before include "Woman's hat associated with Easter" , "Old-fashioned woman's hat or a hinged cover over car engine" , "Woman's hat with string tied under the chin" , "Outmoded headwear" , "Lady's old-fashioned hat" .)
