Rise to style of dress (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

getup

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

'dress' is the definition.
(getup is a kind of dress)

'rise to style' is the wordplay.
'rise' becomes 'up' (as a noun).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'style' becomes 'get' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'up' put after 'get' is 'GETUP'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for getup that I've seen before include "clothes > stand" , "Study" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
