All done except 1down. Can't parse either of the 2 possible solutions. A prod would be appreciated. Thanks

Apologies Title should be EV1498

It may help us to know which crossword and what the clues are

[novalis]

Definition is Once again dresses.

[novalis]

Should have added - you need a short form of have in a word for stays.

[Brownbelle]

Thanks Hankir but still struggling as my working leads to ve for have.... Can't get I've or ive to fit. Nudge. ??? Thanks

Clue?

[novalis]

Scorpiojo - Clue is 'Once again dresses have set in stays'.
Brownbelle - Ve is right. You need a 5 letter synonym of 'stays' round that.

Thanks all. Never seen ve as xword form of have. Even at my age I learn something new! EV has saved my sanity during lockdown and have started tackling The Listener which I find even more scary!
