I believe the answer is:

tutu

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

'short skirt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in paris you twice' is the wordplay.
'in paris you' becomes 'tu' ('you' in French).
'twice' says to double the letters.
'tu' duplicated is 'TUTU'.

'assembled a' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tutu that I've seen before include "Ballet-dancer's skirt" , "Giselle's skirt" , "Ballet dancer's costume" , "outfit" , "A ballerina's short skirt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
