Possible associations
Clothes may evoke presentation in a setting or feeling suited to a role. Choosing garments differs from having them assigned by someone else. The dream makes no judgment of worth through appearance; comfort, movement and the destination change its more personal association.
Poor fit can symbolize forcing yourself into an expectation or role. Wearing an old garment may recall an earlier period. Dirt, changing clothes and removing layers do not all mean the same thing. Considering your own feelings before others’ approval can clarify the distinction between outward appearance and inner comfort within the situation.

If it fits, make a small preparation that helps you feel ready and comfortable.
Dirty clothes: traces carried outward
Dirty clothes can symbolize sensitivity about how the traces of work or burdens appear to others. Marks carried outward may invite a distinction between outside judgment and your own experience.
If it fits, name your own need before guessing how others see you.
