dress

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

'item of clothing' is the definition.
'dress' can be an answer for 'clothing' (dress is a kind of clothing). I am unsure of the 'item of' bit.

'turned red on ship' is the wordplay.
'turned' is an anagram indicator.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'red' with letters rearranged gives 'dre'.
'dre'+'ss'='DRESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dress that I've seen before include "habit" , "Treat" , "Something made from fabric" , "formal wear" , "Garb" .)
