Restore lawn for the best clothing (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top-dress

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

'restore lawn for' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'best clothing' is the wordplay.
'best' becomes 'top' (top can mean the very best).
'clothing' becomes 'dress' (dress is a kind of clothing).
'top'+'dress'='TOP-DRESS'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for top-dress that I've seen is " put on in the garden?".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
