Monster in women's clothing? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dragon

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

'monster' is the definition.
(I know that dragon is a type of mythical creature)

'women's clothing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'women's clothing?' could be 'drag' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'drag' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'on' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dragon that I've seen before include "Fire-breathing creature of myth" , "Continue interminably" , "Fire breathing mythological creature" , "[TERMAGANT]" , "See 7" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
