Dress needing bottom of sleeve taken up (6)
I believe the answer is:
enrobe
'dress' is the definition.
(I know that enrobe is a type of get up)
'bottom of sleeve taken up' is the wordplay.
'bottom of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'up' becomes 'robe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The final letters of 'sleeve taken' are 'en'.
'en'+'robe'='ENROBE'
'needing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enrobe that I've seen before include "put on formally ..." , "put on gown" , "Dress, put on vestments" , "make investment?" , "Dress, clothe, invest" .)
