Support for dress putting pressure on girl, right? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pannier
'support for dress' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'pressure on girl right?' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'girl' becomes 'annie' ().
'right?' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'p'+'annie'+'r'='PANNIER'
'putting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pannier that I've seen before include "Basket on, eg, donkey" , "This will carry" , "dosser" , "Large basket" , "Bike bag" .)
