Entertaining form of tapestries (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striptease

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

'entertaining form' is the definition.
'striptease' can be an answer for 'form' (I have seen 'Form of entertainment' mean 'striptease' so perhaps 'form' could also mean 'striptease'). I'm not certain of the 'entertaining' bit.

'of tapestries' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'tapestries' anagrammed gives 'STRIPTEASE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for striptease that I've seen before include "in which all will be revealed" , "that calls for gradual exposure?" , "Form of entertainment" , "Sort of entertainment" , "adult show" .)
