'as yet wearing only underclothes dress' is the definition.
'invest' can be an answer for 'dress' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'as yet wearing only underclothes' bit.

'underclothes dress' is the wordplay.
'underclothes' becomes 'in' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dress' becomes 'vest' (vesting is a kind of dressing).
'in'+'vest'='INVEST'

Can you help me to learn more?
