Open dress I fancy showing dimple (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depression

'dimple' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'open dress i fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' is an anagram indicator.
'open'+'dress'+'i'='opendressi'
'opendressi' anagrammed gives 'DEPRESSION'.

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for depression that I've seen before include "mental anguish" , "Blues" , "despair" , "Bad times" , "gloom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
