I believe the answer is:

foppery

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

'dandyism' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'ferry one right about opposite' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for foppery that I've seen before include "vain affectation" , "vanity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
