Petticoat, a mistake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slip

I believe this is a double definition.

'petticoat' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a mistake' is the second definition.
(slip is a kind of mistake)

(Other definitions for slip that I've seen before include "release > voucher" , "failure" , "Slide; petticoat" , "Loose one's footing" , "Mistake; garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
