Is the tailoring transaction in which the customer provides part of the raw material (the garment), and the tailor completes the rest of the work by purchasing expensive additional materials (such as buttons and decorations), considered a contract of ijarah (leasing/hiring)? And in this case, is the tailor required to disclose to the customer the amount of her net wage, knowing that she informs him of the total cost beforehand but does not reveal the details of the net wage or the profit margin?

If the garment to be sewn is provided by the owner or the customer, and not by the manufacturer, then the contract is a lease (ijarah) and not a manufacturing contract (istisna'a). This is because istisna'a requires both the item and the labor to be from the manufacturer. There is no harm in combining a lease contract with the sale of additional materials (such as buttons) for a single price in one contract.
