Cavalier poet's fondness for fine fabric (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lovelace

'cavalier poet's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fondness for fine fabric' is the wordplay.
'fondness' becomes 'love' (I've seen this before).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fine fabric' becomes 'lace' (I've seen this before).
'love'+'lace'='LOVELACE'

(Other definitions for lovelace that I've seen before include "Cavalier poet" , "Poet's daughter" .)
