I'm struggling to explain some of my answers. I'm sure you'll be able to out me out of my misery!

8d Garment such as mini one obtained for nothing (5). I am assuming SKIRT, but why?

19a Dives would exhibit such a quality (8). I have HIGHNESS, but why?

35a What's provided by news vendors and others around street (6). I'm thinking LATEST, but struggling to rationalise this.

56a Artist came across clutching leg (5). MANET or perhaps MONET, but where does leg show itself?!

Any suggestions gratefully received.
