'dress goat in a novel way' is the definition.
'toga' can be an answer for 'dress' (I have seen 'Roman dress ' mean 'toga' so perhaps 'dress' could also mean 'toga'). I'm unsure of the 'goat in a novel way' bit.

'dress goat' is the wordplay.
'dress' indicates an anagram (dress or prepare the letters).
'goat' with letters rearranged gives 'TOGA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toga that I've seen before include "Outer garment" , "draped cloth" , "Robe for an ancient Roman" , "Got a cloak for an old Roman" , "Old-style dress" .)
