Stuck on one.

2d. Garment worn by one above French city (5) ?I?O?

Dijon? but can't parse if so.

Thanks in advance

Dijon sounds good
DJ - dinner jacket
i- one
on -worn

Thanks elle. I think you are spot on! cheers!

Glad I could help!

Mixed bag, this, three cracking clues, three I can't parse
The good ones:
3d Pleased as Punch, but moment was fatal (7,2,5)
4d Shorten what's found behind dog (7)
14d Change around to raise cooker (9)

Now the unparsed!
9a Nameless deserted plant (4)
23 Plotting to get rid of half of China? (4) (Not even sure I've got this right - I have a well-known type of China)
6d Aim to access where keeper is? (9) (I'm puzzled by the "access", but I suppose it might just work)

Any hints on the last three?

9a 5-letter synonym for solo/deserted minus n = a plant

Hi. 9a How you are when deserted with N for nameless removed to give a plant.
23a. Half of "plotting" gives Chinese name.
6d. Word for aim plus word for access point gives where the keeper is in a game.
Hope these are correct.

Thanks cerasus and cantersue
I did have 9 wrong, then.
23 I've eventually seen what sort of "plotting" - not a good clue!
6 I'm still not convinced that "access point" gives the last 5 letters - another dodgy one!
