Part of body Eastern lady initially covered with a gown (7)
I believe the answer is:
earlobe
'part of body' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'eastern lady initially covered with a gown' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'covered with' is an insertion indicator.
'gown' becomes 'robe' ('robe' can be a synonym of 'gown'**).
The first letter of 'lady' is 'l'.
'a'+'robe'='arobe'
'l' going into 'arobe' is 'arlobe'.
'e'+'arlobe'='EARLOBE'
(Other definitions for earlobe that I've seen before include "that could have a ring to it" , "Flap on the side of the head" , "low part of organ" , "place to hang jewelry" , "Soft part of a facial organ" .)
