Skirt or a pair worn? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apron

'skirt' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a pair worn?' is the wordplay.
'pair' becomes 'pr' (abbreviation).
'worn?' becomes 'on' (as in having clothes on).
'a'+'pr'+'on'='APRON'

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "Paved area where aircraft are parked" , "Cook's garment" , "Area for aircraft not in use" , "Part of stage, boxing ring or airport terminal" , "item of clothing in the kitchen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
