Putting recycled lace on girl coming out is a disaster (7)
I believe the answer is:
debacle
'disaster' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'putting recycled lace on girl coming out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'lace' is 'acle' which is located in the answer.
'girl' could be 'de' and 'de' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'is a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debacle that I've seen before include "Rout; disaster" , "Sudden disastrous collapse or defeat" , "Fiasco, a right mess" , "Humiliating failure" , "Utter failure" .)
