My mother makes her own clothes. She has never seen the value of passing trends, and instead has always created clothes she felt like wearing and was comfortable in.

I think a relative pronoun 'which' is omitted after the word ‘clothes’. I don’t think it can be omitted because it functions as the subject of the second relative clause: which was comfortable in.

What do you say?
 
No. Both that and which are possible in American English, but neither is required. The sentence flows better as it's written.
 
You've got the grammar wrong. The word clothes isn't the subject of anything, it's the object of wearing and also the object of in.
 
"... clothes she felt like wearing and (she) was comfortable in. …"
 
I was merely trying to point out that the pronoun was omitted.
