Drawing topless and teasing about (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragging

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teasing about' is the definition.
'ragging' can be an answer for 'teasing' ('rag' can be a synonym of 'tease'). I'm not sure about the 'about' bit.

'drawing topless' is the wordplay.
'drawing' becomes 'dragging' ('drag' can be a synonym of 'draw').
'topless' means to remove the first letter.
'dragging' with its initial letter taken away is 'RAGGING'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ragging that I've seen is " Teasing, joshing".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
