Female repeatedly wearing short garment that's yellowy orange (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saffron

This clue might be a double definition.

'female repeatedly wearing short garment' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'yellowy orange' is the second definition.
(saffron can mean a yellowy orange colour)

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for saffron that I've seen before include "Orange-yellow colour" , "Spice from crocuses" , "Golden yellow" , "Orange-yellow spice" , "additive found in rice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
