Clothes dry in breeze, barely wet (6)
I believe the answer is:
attire
'clothes' is the definition.
(attire is clothing)
'dry in breeze barely wet' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'breeze' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'barely' means to look at the middle letters (the word is bare of its external letters).
The middle letter of 'wet' is 'e'.
'tt' inserted inside 'air' is 'attir'.
'attir'+'e'='ATTIRE'
(Other definitions for attire that I've seen before include "Garments" , "I treat badly the dress." , "Special clothing" , "Habit" , "Prepare" .)
