Prepared salad to follow balls – too fancy? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overdressed

'too fancy?' is the definition.

'prepared salad to follow balls' is the wordplay.
'prepared salad' becomes 'dressed'.
'to follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'balls' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dressed' after 'over' is 'OVERDRESSED'.

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
