  And I am in a woman's garment except Aisha.

  ثَوْبِ — garment of. This noun heads a possessive pairing with 'a woman' after it, 'garment of a woman'; placed first it drops its own 'the' and takes its definiteness from the owner that follows. Governed by the 'in' before it, the phrase sits in the genitive.
