Be provocative in fine dress material (7)

I believe the answer is:

inflame

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be provocative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in fine dress material' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'dress material' becomes 'lame' (lame is a kind of material. I am not sure about the 'dress' bit.).
'in'+'f'+'lame'='INFLAME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inflame that I've seen before include "Provoke to anger" , "Intensify, aggravate" , "Incite" , "Be provocative" , "Make (a situation) worse" .)
