The right gear for the match (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

wedding dress

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

'the right' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'gear for the match' is the wordplay.
'gear' becomes 'dress' (both can mean clothing).
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the match' becomes 'wedding' (match can mean a marriage).
'dress' after 'wedding' is 'WEDDING-DRESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for wedding dress that I've seen is " Bride's attire".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
