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

'stretchy costume' is the definition.
'leotard' can be an answer for 'costume' (costume worn by a dancer). I'm not certain of the 'stretchy' bit.

'drunken lad tore' is the wordplay.
'drunken' is an anagram indicator.
'lad'+'tore'='ladtore'
'ladtore' with letters rearranged gives 'LEOTARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?
