Scenario: you make a character, play him for a couple of levels, then decide for one reason or another to reroll -- different powersets, AT, even Origin if you're stupid like me. But you want the same costume. Right now, you have to drag your baby level 4 toon out to high-level Steel Canyon or over to Cap au Diable in order to save the costume. Although it occurs to me, you can just go into AE and save the costume there in the critter creator, but for villains this is still a pain.
When you select a character, there should be a button to save the costume right there.

I understand your suggestion would directly solve your problem, but a button for that on the character screen would probably be used so infrequently by most as to not be worth it. It'd be sort of like attaching a flashlight to a golf putter. It'd be useful for the one time you decided to play gold in the dark, but really how often do most people play golf in the dark? 
A more general answer to your problem would be to have access to a tailor in the tutorial zones that cost no INF to use. Many people have been suggesting that for years to deal with issues similar to yours. You could then save your costume there before you leave and try whatever after you've played around first.

You could always go to Pocket D and save at the Tailor right there in the Tiki Lounge. I have done this on several occasions prior to a reroll when I wanted to keep a costume, but use different powersets.
edit: Not that I'm opposed, and I think it would be a nice QoL feature, just giving you a workaround until it could possibly be implemented.
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

That's a good point.
You'd have to have the Pocket D VIP pass to make that easy, but I guess most do by now.

Not everyone can afford every little microtransaction the devs spring on us.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Well that's more or less why the "tailor in the tutorial" idea is a better general solution for everyone.

Everyone who's still in the tutorial. Sometimes it takes longer than that to realize something's off about your character.
Plus, this would make it easier to collect the .costume files for your characters en masse.
