Easily damaged lace tied badly (8)
I believe the answer is:
delicate
'easily damaged' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'lace tied badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'lace'+'tied'='lacetied'
'lacetied' with letters rearranged gives 'DELICATE'.
(Other definitions for delicate that I've seen before include "Fine in texture" , "Fine and dainty" , "Very fine or easily broken" , "Dainty - fragile" , "Very fine in structure" .)
