Fancy not having a robe (6)

I believe the answer is:

chimer

'robe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fancy not having a' is the wordplay.
'fancy' becomes 'chimera' (chimera can mean a fancy or delusion).
'not having' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'chimera' with 'a' removed is 'CHIMER'.

(Another definition for chimer that I've seen is " robe".)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
