'dress' is the definition.
(type of dress)

'drug supplied after pharmacist shortened' is the wordplay.
'drug supplied' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'pharmacist' becomes 'chemist' (synonyms).
'shortened' means to remove the last letter.
'chemist' with its last letter taken off is 'chemis'.
'e' put after 'chemis' is 'CHEMISE'.
