Embellished by dodgy press dude (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
dressed up
'embellished' is the definition.
(dressing up is a kind of embellishing)
'dodgy press dude' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates anagramming the letters (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'press'+'dude'='pressdude'
'pressdude' is an anagram of 'DRESSED-UP'.
'by' is the link.
(Other definitions for dressed up that I've seen before include "smart" , "Disguised" , "Well turned out" , "as having nowhere to go?" , "All misleadingly presented" .)
