Crossword Genius

Lover all smiles purchasing work clothing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overalls

'work clothing' is the definition.

'lover all smiles purchasing' is the wordplay.
'purchasing' indicates a hidden word.
'OVERALLS' can be found hidden inside 'lover all smiles'.

(Other definitions for overalls that I've seen before include "Protective wear" , "Save roll (anag.)" , "Boiler suits" , "Boilersuits" , "Protective garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
