Playing boules in female attire (6)
I believe the answer is:
blouse
'attire' is the definition.
(I know that blouse is a type of attire)
'playing boules' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'boules' is an anagram of 'BLOUSE'.
'in female' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blouse that I've seen before include "Woman's buttoned top" , "Shirt-like garment for women" , "Garment like a shirt" , "Ladies' top" , "Obelus (anag) - buttoned top" .)
