Hi - I have 4 clues left on a Rotary Club Christmas quiz that I am struggling with. All the answers are items of clothing.

Found in IKEA in 2 or 3 prices with a E, or in M&S without (4)

Ships terminate here somehow (8)

Christian descendant of hijab (6)

Undergarment made of the sound of bells and bit of elastic (7)

Thanks!

Or girdle

2 is Hipsters

I think the undergarm is G-String

3 - Wimple maybe?

4 is chemise - it's an anagram of chime plus s and e from the word elastic

I think number 4 may be singlet.

Edited

Ah clever - I was going for ‘ring’ plus ‘st’. Quite a difference in the end garment!

Thanks. I've gone with: suit, hipsters and chemise.

The hijab one could be wimple, but not sure why descendant??

Thanks for the update! (I think Frogbear’s “singlet” is arguable too – anagram of “ting” and s, l and e from elastic.)

Let us know if you find out the answer to the hijab clue. I would guess it must be something like “headscarf” (but obviously not that) but which is made up of words meaning Christian (or a famous Christian’s surname) and a word meaning descendant. But I can’t work it out!

Apparently wimple is the correct answer.

I don't get why either - thanks for letting us know the answer though!

That explains it - thanks @UniversityofWarwick! Not such a cryptic clue then
