Numbers racket? Discloses suspect (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
cocktail dresses
'numbers' is the definition.
(number can mean an item of clothing)
'racket? discloses suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' indicates anagramming the letters (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'racket'+'discloses'='racketdiscloses'
'racketdiscloses' is an anagram of 'COCKTAIL DRESSES'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
