Without further context the possessive ihre will refer to the personal pronoun sie which is the subject of the sentence. Btw., Kleidung doesn’t get a plural ending, but there’s Kleidungsstücke. PS: In this case a better and unambiguous, but not literal, translation would be “Ich geben ihnen/ihr ihre [eigene] Kleidung”. | |
