Rather large robes employed, but not all (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obese

'rather large' is the definition.

'robes employed but not all' is the wordplay.
'not all' indicates a hidden word.
'OBESE' is hidden in the letters of 'robes employed but'.

(Other definitions for obese that I've seen before include "Extremely overweight" , "Extremely portly" , "Dangerously corpulent" , "in need of slimming down" , "Too chubby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
