Morphology

retailor = tailor (transparent) = re + tailor

This is a standard and easily interpretable use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to the verb 'tailor'.

Etymology

Retailor as a verb can be read as re- 'again' plus tailor, the person who makes or fixes clothes, so it simply means to have something tailored or changed again. That's why to retailor clothes is to alter them a second time for a better fit.
