Might she live dissipatedly with an artist? (6)
I believe the answer is:
elvira
'might she' is the definition.
'Elvira' can be an answer for 'she'. I am not certain of the 'might' bit.
'live dissipatedly with an artist?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'live' is 'elvi' which is within the answer.
'an' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elvira that I've seen before include "Coward spirit" , "Girl's name (from Don Giovanni)" .)
