Tricky situation getting leggings to meet belly (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tight spot
'tricky situation' is the definition.
'leggings to meet belly' is the wordplay.
'leggings' becomes 'tights' (I have seen 'Female leggings' mean 'tights' so perhaps 'leggings' could also mean 'tights').
'to meet' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'belly' becomes 'pot' ('pot' can be a synonym of 'belly').
'tights'+'pot'='TIGHT SPOT'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for tight spot that I've seen before include "Difficult situation" , "Fix" , "predicament" , "hole" .)
