Costume taken with hesitation from piece of furniture (7)
I believe the answer is:
dresser
'piece of furniture' is the definition.
(dresser is a kind of piece of furniture)
'costume taken with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'costume' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this before).
'taken with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er).
'dress'+'er'='DRESSER'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for dresser that I've seen before include "Sideboard with open shelves" , "Chest of drawers" , "one coming into line?" , "Item of bedroom furniture" , "Redress (anag.)" .)
