'woman pawns bloomers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'woman pawns' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'holly' ().
'pawns' becomes 'hocks' ('hock' can be a synonym of 'pawn').
'holly'+'hocks'='HOLLYHOCKS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hollyhocks that I've seen is " which may be placed in bed".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
