Hems can go high for this dress (9)
I believe the answer is:
cheongsam
'this dress' is the definition.
(type of East Asian dress)
'hems can go high' is the wordplay.
'high' is an anagram indicator (like drunk).
'hems'+'can'+'go'='hemscango'
'hemscango' with letters rearranged gives 'CHEONGSAM'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cheongsam that I've seen before include "Tight-fitting Chinese dress with slit skirt" , "Chinese dress with split skirt" , "Chinese habit" , "One-piece Chinese dress" , "tight, Chinese dress" .)
