Dreaming of New Clothes Not Fitting - dream meaning with inherited lore

Traditionally, dreaming of new clothes not fitting has sometimes been seen as reflecting a state in which a new role or expectation still feels uncomfortable to you.

(In folk dream interpretation, the size and feel of clothing have long been used as metaphors for whether a social role fits the person taking it on.)
