Here's a small guide that is 95% guaranteed to work (95% because I'm not sure if it works for everyone but it works for everyone that I know, including me, that tries).
[not my guide by the way - read it off somewhere! I forgot where though and it ALWAYS works for me]
Also, starting off, reporting to Isabelle about problematic clothing DOES NOT work, and does NOT get them back to their default clothing.
how to get villagers into any clothes you want;
1. send the villager
5 of the same clothing through mail.
2. Ta-da! The next day, they should be wearing the shirt you sent 5 times through mail.
oh, and also just putting out there, Zucker's shirt isn't re-orderable! it's an un-orderable, so it will be kind of hard getting 5 of his flan shirt (I attempted to buy 5 of his flan shirt in retail before, back when I had him).
Hope this helped! and this always works for me. That's how I get my villagers into clothes I want. If they don't wear it, do the method again. I did it to Peanut last week, for some reason she didn't wear the shirt I sent her, so I did the method a second time and the next day she was in the clothes I wanted her to be in. :]
