Dress Cleopatra's maid put back (4)
I believe the answer is:
sari
'dress' is the definition.
(I know that sari is a type of dress)
'cleopatra's maid put back' is the wordplay.
'cleopatra's maid' becomes 'iras' (I've seen this in another clue).
'put back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'iras' back-to-front is 'SARI'.
(Other definitions for sari that I've seen before include "Hindu female garment" , "Traditional Indian garment" , "Something worn" , "Hindu woman's dress" , "habit" .)
