Stockings from New York left on show originally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nylons

'stockings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new york left on show originally' is the wordplay.
'new york' becomes 'ny'.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'show' is 's'.
'ny'+'l'+'on'+'s'='NYLONS'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nylons that I've seen before include "Thin tights" , "Women's stockings made of synthetic material" , "Women's stockings made of synthetic fibre" , "Silk-like stockings" , "Hosiery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
