Tatty trousers ’e turned up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retrousse

'turned up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tatty trousers 'e' is the wordplay.
'tatty' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'trousers' anagrammed gives 'retrouss'.
'retrouss'+'e'='RETROUSSE'

(Other definitions for retrousse that I've seen before include "turned up in Nice" , "Of nose, turned up at tip" , "(Of noses) upturned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
