Saucy thing in haute couture? (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
french dressing
'haute couture?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'saucy thing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'saucy' could be 'dressing' (I've seen this before) and 'dressing' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'french' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for french dressing that I've seen before include "sauce for salad" , "Something going on salad" , "vinaigrette!'" , "haute couture?" , "Saucy embellishment" .)
