Female to take off clothes endlessly for great men? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestri

'great men?' is the definition.
(plural of 'maestro')

'female to take off clothes endlessly' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'Mae' (woman's name).
'to take off clothes' becomes 'strip' (strip clothes off).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'strip' with its final letter removed is 'stri'.
'mae'+'stri'='MAESTRI'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for maestri that I've seen before include "leading musicians" , "great musicians" , "Top conductors" , "masters" , "Famous conductors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
