Ship that is carrying good women's wear (8)
I believe the answer is:
lingerie
'women's wear' is the definition.
(women's underwear)
'ship that is carrying good' is the wordplay.
'ship' becomes 'liner' (liner is a kind of ship).
'that is' becomes 'i.e.' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'carrying' indicates putting letters inside.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'liner'+'ie'='linerie'
'linerie' placed around 'g' is 'LINGERIE'.
(Other definitions for lingerie that I've seen before include "CLOTHING" , "Female underwear" , "Slinky undergarments" , "flimsy stuff" , "pants! Could be" .)
