trousseau

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

'stuff for wedding' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'sue tours around about america' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'america' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation eg in USA).
'sue'+'tours'='suetours'
'suetours' is an anagram of 'trousseu'.
'trousseu' enclosing 'a' is 'TROUSSEAU'.

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
