Dress that is, at the time, the rage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attire

'dress' is the definition.
('attire' can be a synonym of 'dress')

'at the time the rage' is the wordplay.
'the time' becomes 't'.
'the rage' becomes 'ire' (I've seen this before).
'at'+'t'+'ire'='ATTIRE'

'that is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for attire that I've seen before include "Formal clothes" , "Wear" , "Special clothing" , "Habit" , "Clothing, apparel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
