'skimpy garments?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'minister avoids grabbing one' is the wordplay.
'minister' becomes 'min' (abbreviation).
'avoids' becomes 'skirts' (skirting is a kind of avoiding).
'grabbing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'min'+'skirts'='minskirts'
'minskirts' enclosing 'i' is 'MINISKIRTS'.
