Help much appreciated in the bottom right corner of today's crossword please:

Drain away, river (7) I have E - T - - - R but am not sure about FRINGE giving the first letter?

Many thanks in advance.

What is the clue which gives you fringe? It might help us.

[Mamyalynne]

I agree, we need that as the only words to fit that pattern don't seem to match the clue.

[plautus]

I have outwear, which matches the wordplay but doesn't exactly fit the definition, I think.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes can see that as a potential.

Sorry for delay in getting back! FRINGE is definitely wrong, clue is
Fast river breaks into landing stage - that's not on! (6)
Thanks to all
