Yup, there was. That detail comes up in the original series in several
episodes. And even the replicator has fitting problems! In one episode
Dr. McCoy is delayed aboard when the replicator gives him the wrong size
gestapo boots. I don't recal explicit mentions of clothing replicators
in subsequent series, though.
Of course, what I would like is a replicator that would give me some of
that 1960s velour! I wish I could find some of that stuff.

In Deep Space Nine, an important secondary character was the
Cardassian, Garak, who was a "simple tailor". Several episodes
showed people being scanned for clothing, and there were some
interesting things on display in his shop.
