Dress needing bottom of sleeve taken up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrobe

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

'dress' is the definition.
(I know that enrobe is a type of get up)

'bottom of sleeve taken up' is the wordplay.
'bottom of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'up' becomes 'robe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The final letters of 'sleeve taken' are 'en'.
'en'+'robe'='ENROBE'

'needing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrobe that I've seen before include "put on formally ..." , "put on gown" , "Dress, put on vestments" , "make investment?" , "Dress, clothe, invest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
