Who makes dresses abroad more attractive? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outfitter

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

'who makes dresses' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'abroad more attractive?' is the wordplay.
'abroad' becomes 'out' (abroad can mean away or out).
'more attractive?' becomes 'fitter' (fit can mean attractive).
'out'+'fitter'='OUTFITTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outfitter that I've seen before include "One supplies gear" , "Person in shop" , "Seller of men's clothing" , "Trader" , "suiting, from him?" .)
