Made clothes for Dior et al, unusually (8)
I believe the answer is:
tailored
'made clothes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'dior et al unusually' is the wordplay.
'unusually' indicates an anagram.
'dior'+'et'+'al'='dioretal'
'dioretal' anagrammed gives 'TAILORED'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tailored that I've seen before include "cut to size" , "Cut to fit" , "Made to measure for idolater" , "Simple in line or design, suit perhaps" , "Fitted to requirements" .)
