Young lady in glasses (4)

I believe the answer is:

lass

'young lady' is the definition.
(lass is a kind of young lady)

'in glasses' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LASS' is hidden in the letters of 'glasses'.

(Other definitions for lass that I've seen before include "Damsel" , "Young woman (-. Eng.)" , "Young woman, girl" , "Scottish girl" , "Sweet resident of Richmond Hill?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
