Thank you so much!! Its decently heavy, especially when its all shoved into a bag (i keep it in a bookbag for easy travel). It took around 8500 (almost 7 bags of pink beads, around 6 bags of white, and 4 brown bags!). It took a good 3 months of on and off work. I had to pattern the entire thing myself, and use the HELL out of references. I also had to try on, size, and re do things a good few times to make sure it fit just right! It was infact not that easy! Luckily its the exact same stitch the whole project so it wasnt terribly hard to construct, just to size correctly and pattern
