Attended to clothing of Hermione Edwards (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heeded

'attended' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'clothing of hermione edwards' is the wordplay.
'clothing of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters which 'clothe' the word remain).
'edwards' becomes 'eded' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hermione' with its centre removed is 'he'.
'he'+'eded'='HEEDED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heeded that I've seen before include "Took note" , "Respected" , "Paid attention to, say warning" , "Took notice of" , "Listened, minded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
