Spot soft delicate material (5)
I believe the answer is:
place
'spot' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'soft delicate material' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for piano, 'soft').
'delicate material' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'lace'='PLACE'
(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "Situation" , "Scene; put" , "Locus" , "Endearingly pretty" , "vacancy" .)
