Saving character costumes, Tailor messes them up

Not really. Lately the developers have attempted to consolidate the tailor into something a little easier to use, they've created new categories and moved items between them.|

What you are seeing is the game not being able to find the items on your costume in the location it used to be in, and giving you a generic piece in it's place. Reset works if it can find the old piece in the new location, but that doesn't always work.
I have many characters like this myself, I took screenshots of them and then recreated them as close as possible. I wouldn't rely on the save costume feature alone for long term, I still write down the pieces by hand to ensure I can fix any more changes to the tailor with the least amount of digging.
You should have a stockpile of free tokens to compensate for all the changes, and you can choose to pay with one of those instead of paying with influence.
Your old characters ought to have accumulated a bunch of costume tokens over the years, not to mention the ones from your Veteran Rewards.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
There's also some costume pieces that were never meant to be available to players and have since been removed, like Malaise pants.

And I am still ticked off at myself for deleting a character with the Malaise pants before realizing they were no longer available. Dangit.
