Just one answer proving elusive.
33a:
Prop comprising one part attached to one Shakespearean garment.
(8)
There is an extra letter in wordplay
S?I?T?RE possibly
I have the theme overall which makes me wonder if I have a wrong letter somewhere here.
Please help.

Letters are correct.

Answer is obscure Shakespearean garment.

Convoluted wordplay too.

Extra O in in word for “(to) Prop” around “one”, abbreviation for “part” and then another “one”!

Kirky, it's just your L that's wrong. The misprint is still in the same place (well, if you've done what I think you have!)

But the misprint is at the end of the word I think?
