'speak to' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'daughter trying on a garment?' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'trying' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a garment?' becomes 'dress' (dress is a type of garment).
'd' put after 'a' is 'ad'.
'ad'+'dress'='ADDRESS'
