chèn

(of garments) against the skin

to line; lining; to contrast with; to assist financially

clothing (衤) + phonetic (寸) = lining worn close to the body

The clothing radical carries the meaning: something worn directly against the skin, or a layer that lines and supports a garment. 寸 mainly contributes the sound chèn and does not add semantic weight here.
