Crossword Genius

Undresses, so bride's excited! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disrobes

'undresses' is the definition.
('disrobe' can be a synonym of 'undress')

'so bride's excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'so'+'brides'='sobrides'
'sobrides' is an anagram of 'DISROBES'.

(Other definitions for disrobes that I've seen before include "Undresses" , "Uncovers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
