Tatty, blingy daughters take wife's place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shoddy

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

'tatty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'blingy daughters take wife's place' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'daughters' could be 'dd' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'dd' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shoddy that I've seen before include "Badly done; recycled fibre" , "poor quality fabric" , "Second-rate" , "Poor-quality" , "clippings in this" .)
