Singular clothes

Clothes seem always pluralized.
I wonder what word is correct to indicate one "clothe" or "cloth" to mean a piece of clothes, instead of specifying the names of garment.

So, you want a baby to put on a shirt only. it's only one piece so you can't use the word clothes but want to call it with a genetic term like clothes instead of shirt or top.
