Society ridicules loose garments (6)
I believe the answer is:
smocks
'loose garments' is the definition.
'smocks' can be an answer for 'garments' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'loose' bit.
'society ridicules' is the wordplay.
'society' becomes 's' (common abbreviation in names of organisations).
'ridicules' becomes 'mocks' (I've seen this in another clue).
's'+'mocks'='SMOCKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smocks that I've seen before include "dresses" , "artist's clothes" , "old women" , "Painters' garments" , "Loose long coveralls" .)
