Tight dresses cut to reveal her body? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seductress

'reveal her body?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'tight dresses cut' is the wordplay.
'tight' indicates anagramming the letters (tight can mean drunk).
'dresses'+'cut'='dressescut'
'dressescut' with letters rearranged gives 'SEDUCTRESS'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for seductress that I've seen before include "Woman who leads astray" , "Siren" , "Temptress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
