Skirt-wearing Hanks undressed to put this on for the beach? (7)

'put this on for the beach?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'skirt-wearing hanks undressed' is the wordplay.
'skirt' becomes 'mini' (a mini skirt).
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'undressed' says to take the centre (the word removes the letters which clothe it).
The centre of 'hanks' is 'ank'.
'mini' going around 'ank' is 'MANKINI'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
