Something picked in dry outfit for woman (5)
I believe the answer is:
anita
'woman' is the definition.
(woman's name)
'something picked in dry outfit' is the wordplay.
'something picked' becomes 'nit' (as in nit-picking).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'dry outfit' becomes 'AA' (Alcoholics Anonymous - 'dry' as in teetotal).
'nit' placed inside 'aa' is 'ANITA'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for anita that I've seen before include "-- Brookner, English novelist" , "-- Loos, US writer" , "lady" , "girl produced" , "Female" .)
