Clothing Quiz help please......

[HRHQoQ]

I've got a quiz here which is a fundraiser for our church - it cost £1 for it, and the prize is a £20 M&S voucher.......they've extended the closing date by 2 weeks (to the 1st Sunday in December) as NO-ONE has managed to finish it yet - they're all finidng it really hard......I only found this out tonight.....and thought perhaps my wonderful MN'er friends could help me out. All answers are items of clothing........ and the numbers in brackets are how many letters. It's a long one I'm afraid.......and I'm completely stumped on the majority......but I'd love a £20 M&S voucher to treat us to something.

I'm not very good at 'cryptic' stuff

agree with sunday best qoq.

14 is cardigan surely? charge of the light brigade

is 19 toga?
to make a profit = to gain

19 ought to be "come" because a profit is an income. But I cant see a clothing connection!

cross post -= of course, its toga!

ankle length and black could be anything!

I thought along the lines of jilbab, yashmak etc, but they dont have to be black, I think. Any dull colour will do.

cardigan - charge of the light brigade??? You 've lost me

Toga - wow you lots are clever

lord cardigan was the british commander?

wasn't the earl of cardigan involved?

aha!! (didn't like history at school )

yup, he was - just googled to confirm my recollection
cardigan it is. now 20 is really bugging me...

right just numbers 20 and 46 to do now.

hehe - I only picked this up on Sunday, and have nearly finished - most others got there's about 3 weeks ago

bump ()

anymore wonderful thoughts about no 46 and no20??

46 couldn't be stocking could it? Sorry, bit pathetic.

I wonder if you can think of any clothing words that haven'tbeen used yet to fit 20.

no qoq!
my only thought about 20 is that in the context of this quiz, 2 is jeans - but that doesnt seem to lead anywhere

ankle length can be socks or boots as well - but again, no obligation to be black.

here are the questions again:

20. Embarking with G and 2 (8)

21. Does it make you feel more religious (6-4) - Sunday Best

and

46. Ankle length and black (7)

Im not happy with sunday best, but cant think of anything better!
A wetsuit is ankle length and black!

Nightynight - I think you may have a connection re jeans (no.2) and no.46. something along the lines of drainpipes?? I just can't get there.

This is really bugging me now.

I thought of stocking for 20 - but I don't think it is. Keep thinking along the lines of a synonym for 'embark' with G and TO added, but nothing (enter? board?) has got me anywhere yet.

Ahh, no. 2?
(tries to find new line of thought)

you've kind of lost me with all of that synonym stuff - but I just looked up embark on the online thesaurus - don't know if any of the words on there can help????

OK, Julie was Julie Walters, so are there any famous Gs?

God
Gin
G K Chesterton
King George (as in post boxes)

Sorry FIT - i'm just free-associating out loud.

Would G = god ?

cassock!!!
