My daughter and I went to cloth store to get her skirts, as she always said "I want to wear skirt!".

cloth= 布
cloth store ⇒you want to make a skirt
「cloth」and 「clothes」look similar, but the pronunciation is different.
「cloth」はクラースっぽく、「clothes」はクローズっぽく。
clothは単数形でも複数性でもスペルが同じで、布のことを表す。
clothesは複数形オンリーかな?不思議なことに、単数形の「服」がないような気がします。「an article of clothing」や「a piece of clothing」で、「洋服の一部」的な言い方しかないかも。
