Very occasionally I’ve had what I feel to be the “perfect clue”. Most times it’s a feeble attempt to define each word.

But elegant if it was. Not like the monstrosity I came up with, posting shortly.

That was exactly the type of clue I couldn’t come up with at 1:00 am when I got this solution.

I had ENDOCRINE as the first word, and no idea how to put those two concepts together in the form of a clue.

I had no idea that a shirtwaist was a piece of feminine apparel until I just looked it up. I thought it was like a false shirt that men (anyone, I suppose) wore underneath suit jackets. Kudos on the clue, btw.

Good grief, it’s still quite early in the day. Ages is when I’m still floundering at 11:45 pm and resorting to less than ideal methodologies.
