Rear seal for making garments (9)
I believe the answer is:
tailoring
'for making garments' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'rear seal' is the wordplay.
'rear' becomes 'tail' (tail is a kind of rear).
'seal' becomes 'oring' (I've seen this before).
'tail'+'oring'='TAILORING'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tailoring that I've seen is " Making clothes".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
