Suit and skirts for bride found near Sussex town (6)

I believe the answer is:

behove

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

'suit and skirts for bride' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'near sussex town' is the wordplay.
'near sussex' becomes 'be' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'town' becomes 'hove' (I have seen 'coastal town' mean 'hove' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'hove').
'be'+'hove'='BEHOVE'

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
