please help! how much to charge?

Sounds like you are underselling yourself there, but if you didn't cost this before you made it, you might like to charge this and call it a discount for experimental work.

I agree with Kate. But it all depends on where you live and what the going rates are. People pay more in the city than in the country. I charge by the hour, equivalent of 30 USD/hr. . I subtract for time spent figuring out new things. I am not sure what an underwear diving suit is but it sounds advanced. Good luck!

It would be a onepiece, like a "wet skin". Think catsuit and you've pretty much got it. What I don't get it why you would have to do a custom draft when there are several lycra one peice patterns out there that can be tweaked for just about any purpose.

Kate's rate sounds about right. I bill pattern work seperate from the sewing and also dont chrge for the puzzling it out part. One should be able to cut/sew one of these in less than 2 hours.

Thanks for answers! I will try to bill more, I'm in France, somebody here told me that I should charge for prototype + patterns at least 400 dollars. I hope my client expect this price! Thank you, good luck everybody!
