Organised duties in states of undress (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nudities

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

'states of undress' is the definition.
'nudities' can be an answer for 'states' (nudity is a kind of state). I am not certain of the 'of undress' bit.

'organised duties in' is the wordplay.
'organised' is an anagram indicator.
'duties'+'in'='dutiesin'
'dutiesin' is an anagram of 'NUDITIES'.
