Divided about design for clothing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raiment

'clothing' is the definition.
(raiment is a kind of clothing)

'divided about design' is the wordplay.
'divided' becomes 'rent' ('rent' can be similar in meaning to 'divided').
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'design' becomes 'aim' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rent' placed around 'aim' is 'RAIMENT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for raiment that I've seen before include "Something put on" , "Am inert (anag) - clothing" , "dress?" , "Clothing (archaic)" , "Garb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
