Saucy thing that's not stripping (8)
I believe the answer is:
dressing
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'saucy thing' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'not stripping' is the second definition.
('dress' is the opposite to 'strip')
'that's' is the link.
(Other definitions for dressing that I've seen before include "Covering for wound; sauce for salad" , "the early-morning routine" , "plaster, for example?" , "Saucy thing" , "Bandage, plaster" .)
