Wardrobe fitting containing suit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

befit

'suit' is the definition.
(I know that suit can be written as befit)

'wardrobe fitting containing' is the wordplay.
'containing' indicates a hidden word.
'BEFIT' is hidden within 'wardrobe fitting'.

(Other definitions for befit that I've seen before include "Become, suit" , "Be right and suitable for" , "Be appropriate for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
