Wife to husband: pack skirt (5)
I believe the answer is:
hedge
'pack skirt' is the definition.
'hedge' can be an answer for 'skirt' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'pack' bit.
'wife to husband' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'edge' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'edge' after 'h' is 'HEDGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hedge that I've seen before include "Border of vegetation" , "Fence formed by bushes" , "Duck" , "Boundary; equivocate" , "Bushy barrier" .)
