Crossword Genius

Dance playfully, putting garment on right (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caper

'dance playfully' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'garment on right' is the wordplay.
'garment' becomes 'cape' (cape is a kind of garment).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'cape'+'r'='CAPER'

'putting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for caper that I've seen before include "Skip or dance; escapade" , "Pickled flower bud or prank" , "Jump about playfully" , "Frolic - plant with edible buds" , "Leap about" .)
