How much should I charge for my time in making a custom, high quality costume?

high time
Kay asked:

I have been asked to make costumes, from mangas or animes or movies and stories and when I make a costume I spend a long time making sure I have every detail, colors right, hidden pocket, pleats and such. I won’t give the costumes away, but I wanted to know what I should charge for one, materials and time? How much should I charge per hour? Is there a usual rate?

Would anyone be interested in a custom costume? Just wondering if there was any interest at all.
