I believe the answer is:

kilt

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

'national dress' is the definition.
'kilt' can be an answer for 'dress' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'national' bit.

'outfit including line' is the wordplay.
'outfit' becomes 'kit' (synonyms).
'including' indicates putting letters inside.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'kit' enclosing 'l' is 'KILT'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kilt that I've seen before include "Bone; circle line" , "Tartan clothing item" , "Scottish costume" , "Checked menswear" , "Highlanders garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
