Gauzy material also evident in a lot of wild parties (8)
I believe the answer is:
organdie
'gauzy material' is the definition.
'organdie' can be an answer for 'material' (organdie is a kind of material). I'm unsure of the 'gauzy' bit.
'also evident in a lot of wild parties' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'and' (both can mean in addition).
'evident in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a lot of' means to remove the last letter (a lot of but not all of the word).
'wild parties' becomes 'orgies' (orgy can mean a wild or drunken party).
'orgies' with its last letter taken off is 'orgie'.
'and' going inside 'orgie' is 'ORGANDIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for organdie that I've seen before include "Orange I'd changed for fine muslin" , "Translucent cotton fabric, usually stiffened" , "A stiffened muslin; I groaned (anag.)" , "Fine stiffened translucent fabric" , "I groaned about translucent fabric" .)
