Crossword Genius

Special set of linen said to be right, like that (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trousseau

'special set of linen' is the definition.
(linen collected by a bride for marriage)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for trousseau that I've seen before include "old packet" , "Bridal accessories" , "wedding gear" , "Linen for a bride" , "Clothes etc. collected by a bride for her marriage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
