Pair of editors cross about description of uniforms, perhaps? (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

dress code

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

'description of uniforms perhaps?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'pair of editors cross about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dress code that I've seen before include "Guidelines" , "Expected standard of attire" , "Stipulated attire" , "Convention governing clothes to be warn on a particular occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
