Hmmm. I sort of see it. So the new first word would have a ? After it and the new third word isn’t really a word, spelling-wise? Clever if that’s it. Nice puzzle on the whole.
Thanks chrise, as usual!

Thanks jono and quisling. I see what you mean now, re 12a. But as it's only one letter, I'm not too concerned!

Ah, thanks Phil, you explain 12 very well. Now I understand what quisling meant by 'reverse' doing double duty! At least, I think I do!!

Loubyloo; re 1d. Think about it as the cheese course at a dinner, and what might follow after that!

Not sure what sort of clue you would call this though. Double definition? &lit??

Hello, it must have been easier than usual because I didn't have to cheat on here as to the answers (I think) but I don't understand what I take to be the answer to 19 across...there only seems to be one thing that fits and I don't understand the first word. Any hints? Thanks very much!

The first word parses 3,3. "I'm surprised", then "get into", referring to clothing.

aha! thank you !

1a FOI
7d LOI

7 and 8
