She could put frocks on furniture (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dresser

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

'furniture' is the definition.
(I know that dresser is a type of cabinet)

'she could put frocks' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'she' could be 'dre' and 'dre' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dresser that I've seen before include "help in the theatre" , "Piece of kitchen furniture" , "Theatre worker back-stage" , "Welsh sideboard" , "Sideboard; theatrical assistant" .)

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