I doubt you'll find it cheaper to have a tailor make it, but maybe cost is not a concern.

Your links didn't work.

I found a costume for about fifty dollars. Three yards of spandex will likely cost $30 to $50, without a pattern ($10 to $20, I couldn't find a unitard for men) or any work from the tailor. Paying him $25 to $30 an hour to develop a pattern for you would be reasonable.

If your tailor doesn't know how to sew and needs "tips" from strangers, you've hired the wrong person for the job.
