Peeled minidress off to reveal accessory, perhaps (7)

I believe the answer is:

insider

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

'reveal accessory perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'peeled minidress off' is the wordplay.
'peeled' indicates the central letters.
'off' indicates an anagram.
The central letters of 'minidress' are 'inidres'.
'inidres' with letters rearranged gives 'INSIDER'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insider that I've seen before include "One 24 [IN-SECT], perhaps" , "one's not allowed to trade" , "one who's in the know" , "member of favoured group?" , "One privy to restricted information" .)
