As worn by the runner on the right? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skirt

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

'as worn by the' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'runner on the right?' is the wordplay.
'runner' becomes 'ski' (ski is a kind of runner**).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the right?' becomes 'rt'.
'ski'+'rt'='SKIRT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skirt that I've seen before include "Fringe" , "Circumvent" , "Item of female apparel" , "Female garment" , "Go round; garment" .)
