Show a drape off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parade

'show' is the definition.
(parade is a kind of show)

'a drape off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'drape'='adrape'
'adrape' anagrammed gives 'PARADE'.

(Other definitions for parade that I've seen before include "March-past of troops etc." , "Organised procession of displays, performances, etc" , "Flaunt; ceremonial march" , "Cavalcade or procession" , "Assembly of troops for inspection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
