We miss commuting in, poorly made, tight fitting garment (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swimming costume

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

'garment' is the definition.
(swimming costume is a kind of garment)

'we miss commuting in poorly made tight fitting' is the wordplay.
'we miss commuting' can be anagrammed to 'SWIMMING COSTUME'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swimming costume that I've seen before include "going on in baths?" , "Item of beachwear" , "bathers" , "skimpy garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
