Rome bride disposed to dress up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embroider

'dress up' is the definition.
(embroider can mean to embellish)

'rome bride disposed' is the wordplay.
'disposed' indicates an anagram.
'rome'+'bride'='romebride'
'romebride' anagrammed gives 'EMBROIDER'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for embroider that I've seen before include "Sew; embellish" , "Elaborately sew" , "Exaggerate" , "Dress up" , "Add (fictitious) detail to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
