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

'cupboard' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for dresser that I've seen before include "What Hardy Amies would do once" , "one coming into line?" , "Actor's costume assistant" , "another" , "Person working in one theatre" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
