Take back embroidered lace in skirt (7)
I believe the answer is:
reclaim
'take back' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'embroidered lace in skirt' is the wordplay.
'embroidered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'skirt' becomes 'rim' (both can mean something's edge).
'lace' anagrammed gives 'ecla'.
'ecla' put inside 'rim' is 'RECLAIM'.
(Other definitions for reclaim that I've seen before include "Bring under cultivation" , "Miracle (anag)" , "Seek or get back" , "Get back (eg from the sea)" , "recovery like this" .)
