Propose to in torn clothes (7)
I believe the answer is:
raiment
'clothes' is the definition.
(raiment is a kind of clothes)
'propose to in torn' is the wordplay.
'propose' becomes 'aim' ('aim' can be a synonym of 'propose').
'to in' indicates putting letters inside.
'torn' becomes 'rent' (rending is a kind of tearing).
'aim' placed into 'rent' is 'RAIMENT'.
(Other definitions for raiment that I've seen before include "Poetic word for clothing" , "Especially fine or decorative clothing" , "clothing for poets" , "Old word for fine clothing" , "Garb" .)
