Note Ms Goddard in a flap? (9)
I believe the answer is:
epaulette
'a flap?' is the definition.
(flap of material on a uniform)
'note ms goddard' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'ms goddard' becomes 'Paulette' (actress Paulette Goddard).
'e'+'paulette'='EPAULETTE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for epaulette that I've seen before include "Clothing ornament" , "piece of fancy material" , "Shoulder decoration" , "Ornamental shoulder pad" , "Shoulder adornment" .)
