Anriard, glad I could help. When I said 'habit/dress', I meant 'item of clothing', not a habit/custom. Farthingale is an old, old word for an old, old item of clothing - a petticoat worn centuries ago. I don't think it'll be making a comeback any time soon!

Terpsichore, Muse (mythology).

You're welcome, Anriard.

I know we're all different, but I found this one relatively straightforward. I got my come-uppance later when I struggled with the ordinary everyday cryptic puzzle!
