More flashy English garment (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brassiere

'garment' is the definition.
(brassiere is a kind of garment)

'more flashy english' is the wordplay.
'more flashy' becomes 'brassier' ('brassy' can be a synonym of 'flashy').
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'brassier'+'e'='BRASSIERE'

(Other definitions for brassiere that I've seen before include "garment" , "Female undergarment supporter" , "support" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
