Egyptian “King” has uniform dress for ballet dancers (4)

I believe the answer is:

tutu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dress for ballet dancers' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'egyptian king has uniform' is the wordplay.
'egyptian king' becomes 'Tut' (nickname of Tutankhamun).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'tut'+'u'='TUTU'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tutu that I've seen before include "outfit" , "In which dancer may appear" , "Ballerina's stiff skirt" , "Ballet-dancer's skirt" , "Short skirt for ballet dancer" .)
