Suitably talented to work for a tailor? (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cut out

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

'tailor?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'suitably talented to work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
