'a case' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'clothing artist's body part succeeded' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'clothing' could be 'drawers' (drawers is a kind of clothing) and 'drawers' is present in the answer.
'part' could be 'chest' (chest is a kind of part) and 'chest' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'of' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.
