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

'skirt's useful feature' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'thrill place with each tango' is the wordplay.
'thrill' becomes 'kick' ('kick' can be a synonym of 'thrill').
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'each' becomes 'ea'.
'tango' becomes 't' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'kick'+'pl'+'ea'+'t'='KICK PLEAT'

Can you help me to learn more?
