Dazzling girl initially making a mess (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glittering

'dazzling' is the definition.

'girl initially making a mess' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'making a mess' becomes 'littering'.
The initial letter of 'girl' is 'g'.
'g'+'littering'='GLITTERING'

(Another definition for glittering that I've seen is " Glamorous".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
