'such clothing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'fits una badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'fits'+'una'='fitsuna'
'fitsuna' is an anagram of 'FUSTIAN'.
