Material to give daughter a disguise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damask

'material' is the definition.
(damask is a kind of material)

'give daughter a disguise' is the wordplay.
'give' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'disguise' becomes 'mask' (masking is a kind of disguising).
'd' next to 'a' is 'da'.
'da'+'mask'='DAMASK'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for damask that I've seen before include "Lustrous cloth" , "Fabric used for table linen" , "Heavy patterned fabric" , "heavy embossed table linen" , "Red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
