People who work backstage making furniture? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dressers

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

'furniture?' is the definition.
(I know that dressers is a type of furniture)

'people who work backstage' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'who' could be 'dr' (from TV series Doctor Who) and 'dr' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dressers that I've seen before include "They are found in theatres and in kitchens" , "Wardrobe assistants" , "theatre assistants" , "ones employed backstage" , "Sideboards" .)
