Girl to stop wearing underwear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brenda

'girl' is the definition.

'stop wearing underwear' is the wordplay.
'stop' becomes 'end' ('end' can be a synonym of 'stop'**).
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'underwear' becomes 'bra' (I've seen this before).
'end' inserted into 'bra' is 'BRENDA'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for brenda that I've seen is " - - Blethyn, actress".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
