Unable to use federation uniform on FED allied romulan

Hi,
I got my Delta Recruit Romulan character, finished tutorial, got myself sided with the Federation, but I can't use federation uniform.
It's strange, since my friend is able to use them + many more, but my character has only available small portion of uniforms.
This is my friend's editor. He has Romulan, and he is able to use so many uniforms:
And this is my character. Only short list of uniforms available:
I can't even use the fleet's uniform.

I have noticed that my own liberated borg romulan is suffering the same issue, just that since they are KDF aligned they are missing somewhat different uniform pieces. I did not notice earlier because I don't personally like klinker uniforms so never tried to apply them before now
Since I am the peep who made the first image above on my alien romulan I figure that this all seems to indicate that it is the species that is causing the issue although my one is also a delta recruit and I do not have a non-delta one with which to verify this myself
While I won't miss the klinker uniforms someone probably will and I would definitely miss the starfleet uniforms if the toon were so aligned

Update added below.
I'm honestly surprised they allowed them to be opened rather than leave as (account-bound) uniforms, you could move to your Federation characters then.
I've read in reddit posts that apparently its a lot of work to ensure clipping isn't an issue and as a games programmer I have gripes with this, but I don't know the back end. You'd think it could just be enabled on the liberated borg characters, y'know since the unique things they get are on their faces and so wouldn't clip in anyway more than it does on the base race but hey what do I know I guess...
This is intended.
Go look at the tooltip for the Odyssey parts in the Fleet Starbase Tailor Store...
Now, not all uniform pieces are restricted, but if it's usuable on a Romulan (not an Alien) then it should also be usable on a Liberated Borg Romulan. However, sometimes the devs overlook the LBR's on the list of species that should be able to use a Fed/KDF piece and we need to flag it up for them.
Looking at the original 2 screenshots, the Alien will always have access to more pieces than the uniform for a specific species pieces.
Exactly.
If one Romulan Allied character CAN use the uniforms, the other should be able to use them as well.
Also, what is the point of being allied to Federation, being able to command Federation ships, if I can't even wear proper federation uniform?
I would understand this in the past, where Romulans were simply just allies, but they had their own Romulan ships, and they couldn't touch the Federation ships just like the Federation couldn't fly theirs.
But now, Romulans are simply part of the federation, one of their species.
I created that Romulan character because I always thought that they can normally use the Federation uniform, and I wanted to have at least one Romulan character. If I knew that this is going to be problem, and that the uniform is in fact just a glitch on the Allien characters, I would never create that Romulan character at all, and I would instead make a human character.
But now it's too late. That character is a Delta Recruit, and the event is over, so even if I wanted to just delete this character and start a different one, it would be no use.
So my only hope is that someone can somehow allow me to use some Federation uniform. Otherwise, I am stuck with some odd shirts that don't even look like a proper uniform at all. And that really doesn't give me any motivation to play on that character at all.
Ok, so today I asked my friend to hop on his allied romulan (generic Romulan, NOT Allien, NOT Borg), and he can access the odyssey, so you are wrong here. Federation Allied Romulans CAN Access all the uniforms, same as the Allien, so the Borg is DEFINITELY broken and SHOULD be fixed. It's not a feature, it is a BUG.
Here is the screen of his menu:

Romulan character, allied to Federation, and CAN use the federation uniform. It's not visible there, but there is clearly a really large menu of uniforms including the Odyssey. So clearly, the borg is broken and should be fixed. You are wrong on that romulans cannot access uniforms. This screen proves opposite.
You can clearly see that it's not borg or Allien.
