there are kids that have slight sensory issues. Maybe bring it up with the doctor again.
Is it all clothes she screams about or just things that go over her head? In that case, buy all button downs!
Seriously, it can't be the detergent or the material of the clothes because she's happy enough to let anyone but you put the same clothes on her. She is being difficult and stubborn. She is throwing a tantrum because she sees it gets her attention. She's being a toddler.
My daughter started this at about 14 or 15 months. It's only calmed down in the last month or so and she still sometimes does it, though now it tends to be because she wants to wear something other than what I want her to wear. She is 29 months. It started out being only me and ended up being anybody.
It's actually a huge compliment - She is comfortable enough with only you to do this.
As I remember your DD is a bit little for time out. So the rule is ignore, ignore, ignore. Don't let her see that you're upset, angry or frustrated. Don't talk at all. Stay calm and get those clothes on her anyway you can. In time she'll realise that no matter what she does she doesn't get her way. And once the clothes are on her be sure to tell her how beautiful she looks.
Good luck and just keep at it - she won't be a toddler forever.
