Garments; bypasses (6)
I believe the answer is:
skirts
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'garments' is the first definition.
(skirt is a kind of garment)
'bypasses' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for skirts that I've seen before include "Finds a way round" , "women rudely" , "Flanks" , "Goes around the edge of, say women's garments" , "Avoids the lower garment?" .)
