Drier and unusually calm on the side (7,6)

I believe the answer is:

clothes maiden

'drier' is the definition.
(device for drying clothes)

'unusually calm on the side' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'calm'+'on'+'the'+'side'='calmontheside'
'calmontheside' with letters rearranged gives 'CLOTHES MAIDEN'.

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
