Fighting for nominated club, suffering exposure by mistake (8,11)

I believe the answer is:

wardrobe malfunction

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

'fighting for nominated club suffering exposure by mistake' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fighting for nominated club suffering' is the wordplay.
'fighting' becomes 'war'.
'suffering' is an anagram indicator.
'for'+'nominated'+'club'='fornominatedclub'
'fornominatedclub' with letters rearranged gives 'drobemalfunction'.
'war'+'drobemalfunction'='WARDROBE MALFUNCTION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wardrobe malfunction that I've seen is " It reveals".)
