Organised duties in states of undress (8)
I believe the answer is:
nudities
'states of undress' is the definition.
'nudities' can be an answer for 'states' (nudity is a kind of state). I am not certain of the 'of undress' bit.
'organised duties in' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'duties'+'in'='dutiesin'
'dutiesin' is an anagram of 'NUDITIES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
