Honey, this sounds like normal kid stuff. Maybe putting her cloth up higher so she can't get them all out, but leave her a few that she can reach and play with. Good luck!

time to get some extra clothes for dress up! put the clothes you dont want her touching where she cant reach, and make a dress up box for her to be able to dress in out of the cute stuff she wants to wear for play time.

My 2 yr old, Lydia is the same way. She changes cloths atleast 5 times a day. I put her play cloths & Pj's in her drawer where she can get them and I hang up all the good cloths. I have four kids and it doesnt get much better as they get older..Good Luck

Shouldn't be your problem if you ask me... You mom needs to address that to her and teach her to put her cloths in a dirty basket if they are dirty or place the clean ones back in a drawer her being 3 she probably won't understand to fold them but to teach good habits if a start. my daughter just turned 2 and she can put her dirty cloths in the basket when asked.
If this doesn't work have your mom buy drawer locks to prevent her from opening them all. she might get made at first but she will learn.
